Cheesy rice and beans from What to Cook When You Don't Feel Like Cooking (page 112) by Caroline Chambers

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I enjoyed this, but mostly enjoyed how easy it was. Nothing better than being able to throw things in a pot some nights. Also, I like how you can customize it somewhat depending on which salsa you use. I also jazzed it up with homemade black beans instead of canned.

    My favourite easy, cheap, low effort meal! I eat it with green onion, avocado, sour cream, and shredded cheese.

    I love that all the ingredients are just dumped in the pot to cook together. Didn’t even get out a cutting board, and all my kids are full. Bonus points for being a very cheap meal! It’s definitely a simple dinner, but it’s a good base recipe that’s easy to throw extra ingredients in.

    This sounds so basic but it was delicious and everyone in my family was enthusiastic. I used the optional chorizo, which amped up the flavor. As directed, we loaded up the toppings: sour cream, avocado and pickled jalapenos. I think the toppings were essential. I will definitely be turning to this for an easy and satisfying week-night meal again!
