My brother-in-law used to throw together a can of black beans and some rice. Surprisingly it was pretty good. That's my limited experience. Your dish is more than on another level ... it sounds great.

Added the dry rice directly to the beans at the end and simmered an additional 30 minutes. A good bean recipe.
