Ingredients
- 30 ounces canned black beans rinsed and drained
- 3/4 cup long-grain white rice uncooked
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 3/4 cup chunky tomato-based salsa
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare a 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray or liner.
- Add black beans, water, rice, salsa, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir just enough to combine.
- Cover and cook on Low heat for 3 hours, until the rice is cooked through. Do not stir during the cooking time; this will result in mushy rice.
- Remove lid, fluff rice gently with a fork, and serve hot.
