    rice and beans- a not expensive easy tasty dish my mother taught me
    makes about 6 servings
    (if you dont like beans your can always substitute with vegetables or thawed chicken)

    INGREDIENTS
    1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
    1 can red beans
    1 sweet onion
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    2 packets sazon
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
    3 1/3 cups water
    1 can green olives (optional)

    for more extra flavor add: Seitenbacher Vegetable Broth Mix, or any powder formed broth that comes in packets
    (i tried it and it came out even better)

    Add the rice to a saucepan and add the water. (If softer rice is desired, up to an additional 1/2 cup water may be added.) Cook the rice, uncovered, with salt and olive oil over high heat about 10 minutes, or until “fish eyes” (tiny craters) form over the surface of the rice. while doing that, chop up the onions. then add onions, garlic,sazon, (1 packet broth mix if desired) quickly mix it. Cover closely and cook over very low heat for 10 minutes then add the beans and olives and cook about another 10 minutes longer.

    if ya try it, let me know how it comes out!

    If you’re grilling, then try grilled hash browns. My boys love them. The big bags of frozen hash browns are inexpensive. The recipe could also be made in the oven, but we like it best on the grill.
