Happy Fall Everybody!
Since everyone is starting to get a bit busier with either work or school, I think it is a perfect time to share a little recipe that my boyfriend, Justin, created. Being the busy bee that he is, Justin was looking for something to make for lunch and dinner that would be cheap to make, easy to prepare and take with him, but most of all very tasty! Justin first created the recipe using brown rice, beans, and turkey bacon. He then started to add more and more ingredients and it has now become a staple! This recipe is very similar to a burrito bowl, but much healthier. We started off calling it beans and rice and now we've just started calling it the "B&R". Check it out!
Ingredients:
4.5 Cups Dry Brown Rice (9 Cups Cooked)
1 Can Black Beans
1 Can Yellow Corn
1 Onion, Chopped
1 Green Pepper, Chopped
1/4 Stick Butter (For Rice)
1/8 Stick Butter (For Veggies/Bacon)
Sprinkle Of Red Pepper Flakes
Directions:
1. Begin preparing the brown rice according to the directions on the packaging.
2. Chop up the turkey bacon, onion, and green pepper.
3. Heat up the skillet and add either butter or olive oil. Saute the bacon, onion, and green pepper until slightly golden and tender.
4. Once the rice is cooked, add the drained corn and black beans and stir. Add in the remaining ingredients from the skillet.
5. Sprinkle red pepper flakes over the mixture and stir together to give it an extra kick.
6. Enjoy! (I love adding hot sauce to this meal or a side of steamed vegetables for something extra)
