1 Cup - Dried Black Beans (3 cups cooked)
2 Cups - Short Grain Brown Rice (4 cups cooked)
6 to 9 Tbsp - Frank's Red Hot Sweet Chili Sauce

Pre-soak black beans over night, or follow quick soak instructions.

Rinse the soaked beans and place them in a quart size cooking pot. Add 6 cups of water and bring to a light boil. Takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Once the beans are going you should start cooking the brown rice in 3 cups of water in a standard rice cooker, or in a pot on the stove top.

When the rice is done and the beans are tender mix the two together into a quart size container. I like to add 1 to 1-1/2 tbsp of the chili sauce to 1 cup of mixed beans and rice, rather than mixing everything together at once. This way I can do something else with the beans and rice if I want.

    I love black beans and brown rice. Great idea to mix a cup of each and save the rest for later. :)
