1 cup chopped onion, one large

1 cup vegetable broth
1 cup uncooked instant brown rice

Cover and cook about 30 minutes more or until rice is tender. Makes 12 servings. Tip: because Chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes, avoid direct contact with them as much as possible. When working with Chile peppers, where plastic or rubber gloves. If your bare hands to touch the peppers, wash your hands and nails well with soap and warm water.

Tips:

  • Use leftover smoked brisket or pork to add a smoky flavor to the beans.
  • Add a teaspoon of chili powder or cumin to the beans for a little extra kick.
  • Serve the beans with sour cream, shredded cheese, and chopped green onions.
  • For a vegetarian version of the beans, use vegetable broth instead of beef broth and omit the bacon.
  • To make the beans in a slow cooker, combine all of the ingredients in the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours.
  • If you don't have a Dutch oven or slow cooker, you can also make the beans in a large pot on the stovetop. Bring the beans to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1-2 hours, or until the beans are tender.
