Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

This is a flavorful beans and rice dish. It starts with canned black beans in the crock pot combined with lots of herbs and spices. The rice is added at the end to keep it from getting overcooked.

reviews & comments
I made this recipe exactly as is. I was a bit hesitant about the measurements of the spices, especially the chili powder and the cumin. I believe the measurements are wrong and instead of a teaspoon , maybe it should have been a tablespoon? I made this according to recipe for 8 servings. It was very bland with just the teaspoon measurements. It also resembled the consistency of a soup instead of a saucy beans and rice dish. The recipe called for 1 1/2 cups of rice. I had to put in 6 cups of rice to get the consistency i expected. I hope this helps others that want to try this recipe so they can make adjustments to suit their individual taste.
