Island Style Rice and Beans image

I found this on a OAMC website, which credits Healthy Meals in Minutes for this recipe. This was pretty easy, and nummy. This could also probably be made in a rice cooker (especially after thawing a frozen batch). I did the stovetop cooking for my two batches separately, since I was baking one batch for dinner and freezing the second. This worked out well for me.

I'm a vegetarian, and this recipe is a great way for me to get my protein. The beans are a great source of protein, and the rice is a good source of carbohydrates.
