The Best Baked Rice and Beans image

Due to certain worldwide events, I've been getting lots of requests for easy, hearty recipes that can be made using basic dry and canned goods. This incredibly delicious Spanish-style baked rice and beans is all that and more. You'll also see a fantastic, foolproof way of making perfect rice, every time. Garnish with Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, and chopped cilantro, if you like.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups basmati rice
2 teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder

¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ cup olive oil
1 (16 ounce) jar tomato salsa
2 cups chicken broth
