Notes
- If the rice and beans are a bit liquidy or a bit crunchy, close the lid and let them sit for 10 more minutes.
- You can lightly spray the bottom of your pot with cooking spray to keep the rice from sticking.
- Different types of rice will require different cooking times, so you may need to adjust the cooking time if you use different rice.
- You can use dried beans in this recipe, but we have not tested it and cannot vouch for the cook time or amount of water needed.
