For ease of accomplishment, these "recipes" are servings for ONE. Multiply as 
needed. One serving equals 1 cup rice, 1 cup beans. You can bag these beans

up in freezer quality bags and freeze in serving sizes (either individually or 
enough to serve your family) if you want. You can do the same thing with

the rice. Once you have all those beans and rice packages, here's what you can 
do when you thaw them out. Remember, these are servings for ONE.multiply

them out as needed to serve your family:

 

For the Mexican-Style Beans and Rice: Serve the rice and beans plain with 
salsa, sour cream, grated cheese over the top and a quesadilla on the side.

 

For the Jamaican-Style Beans and Rice: In a saucepan over a medium heat, add 
beans, add 2 tablespoons of coconut milk, a pinch of thyme, a clove of crushed

garlic and heat through till warm and bubbly. Serve over rice with chopped

New Orleans-Style Beans and Rice: In a skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil 
over medium high heat and saute 1/4 cup each: onion, green bell pepper and

celery. Add 1 clove crushed garlic, 1/8 teaspoon thyme. Mix this into the beans 
and serve with a bottle of Tabasco or other hot sauce. 

 

Southern-Style Beans and Rice: In a skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil over 
medium high heat. Add 1/4 cup chopped onion, then add 1 cup chopped frozen

greens. Add 1 clove crushed garlic, a pinch of thyme and salt and pepper to 
taste. Add 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth. Add 1/2 cup beans and simmer till

greens are tender. Serve over rice.

 

Indian-Style Beans and Rice: In a skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil over 
medium high heat. Add 1/4 cup chopped onion, 1/4 cup chopped tomato and cook
