This is even cheaper and perhaps better if you use dried beans instead of canned. For a fifteen ounce can of beans I would use a half cup of dried beans. I soak them in very hot water for 10-15 min instead of presoaking everynight. Replace water. Boil until tender. Can do this the night before. - 11/11/08

I just cooked this up. Very filling and pretty good. I ended up adding quite a bit of salt though. Next time I'll add some more herbs and maybe some chicken. Very useful base recipe though! Thanks!

ETA: This stuck with me for a remarkably long time, enhancing my love for it. - 12/3/08

Excellent!! I used cumin, chili powder and paprika (1/2 tsp. each) and tabasco instead of curry. I also sprinkled shredded 2% cheddar on top and added turkey sausage. This recipe will be a staple for me! - 1/27/08

I love this and have made it quite a few times now. Recently we started using this to add to chicken burritos instead of regular beans or rice and it's fantastic. - 2/26/09

I'd replace the Uncle Ben's rice with good generic brown rice in a bag - you'll lose quite a bit of the sodium. And if you really want to do a little extra work, going without a can for the black beans would do the same. - 7/24/11

I found the recipe as written to be light on the curry, so I added more. Will be making again for sure! - 9/9/10

This is a good base recipe. I used dried black beans w/overnite soak. I cook them in low sodium chicken broth w/sauteed carrots, celery, onions, green and red bell pepper. I used oegano my favorite seasoning.

I added a few more spices to kick it up some. My husband suggested mixing in some taco meat and rolling these up in whole wheat tortillas for a great filling meal. - 7/9/08

I used cumin instead of the curry powder. I also added a tbsp of apple cider vinegar. It was delicious! - 5/22/11

This is a great base recipe. You you might want to check the ingredients on the canned goods. I've stopped buying stuff that has High Fructose Corn Syrup in it. Why do they put that in canned tomatoes anyway???? There are ones out there without it but you have to watch. - 5/18/10

Love, love, love!!! Enjoyed this very much!! I added thyme and chili peppers and it just gave it this 'oomph'!! - 11/11/08

This is my new fav! I add just a bit of hot sauce for some added spice. - 8/10/08

This dish is absolutely amazing! I ate a cup of it with a salad for dinner and it was extremely filling. I used Del Monte Petite Cut Diced Tomatoes with Zesty Jalapenos to sub the regular tomatoes, chili powder and cumin and dry celantro instead of curry powder. Let sit 15 min before eating. YUMMY! - 10/21/07

This was very good for a busy day dinner. I made it with vegan sausage for me and kielbasa for DH on the side and a side salad. I made it as is in the recipe. I may tweak the spices in the future and maybe not. - 6/9/13

I really enjoyed this! Quick to throw together, tasty and filling. I did add cumin, chili powder and red pepper to spice it up a bit. Looking forward to the leftovers - I'll bet it's even better the second day after flavors blend more. - 11/1/12

I just posted on the message board about the makeover. the nutrition info on this recipe seems more accurate than Chef Meg's makeover. Helps the diabetic to accurately track carbs. - 2/6/12

Use Kumer's low sodium black beans to cut that great bg sodium number way down. I can't eat onions or garlic, so I ed onion poder and garlic powder. Still yummy - 12/15/11

Next to no preparation if you use canned black beans, and a simple, no fuss one pot hearty meal. Definitely going to be a regular meal, and its basic enough to allow me to play with variations on the seasonings, just to see what else goes with the base ingredients. Absolutely loved it. Thank you. - 10/7/11

We used fresh ingredients vs. the canned because we happened to have them on hand, and it was delicious!! One of our family favorites, now. - 8/23/11

I just made this dish and loved it! I rinsed the black beans under running water to remove the sodium. Using fresh roma tomatoes cuts the sodium content also. I used left over brown rice that I had cooked yesterday and after reading the reviews I used the cumin, paprika, and chili powder to season. - 8/15/11
