McKenzie C says:

So surprised by how well dry black beans cook in the pressure cooker. Gone are the days of soaking them overnight, or forgetting to soak them and having to run to the store to buy some that are canned. I added extra garlic, and seasoned it well with salt and pepper. I'd make this again for sure.

Joshua Soltysik says:

It was good, but not sure why it didn't turn out like the directions said. The black beans were really undercooked. I took the chicken out after cooking for 15 minutes and cooked rice and black wan mixture for 15 more minutes (30 total). They were still a little crunchy. The one thing I think I might try different next time is putting the thighs on the included basket so it sits above the mixture. Any tips why this might have happened?

Jazzy Brewer says:

Used canned black beans and adjusted the cooking time accordingly. Really good recipe, classic rice and beans, can’t go wrong with that. Served it with tostones.

Erin Hudson says:

Made a bowl out of this and added sour cream and guacamole for toppings, plus homemade pico de gallo. This was really good, glad I tried it.

Kris Wilburn says:

Simple, easy and budget friendly. We loved it!

C Lee says:

It said 45 minutes but cooking directions really only called for 25... maybe this is why the beans weren’t fully cooked? I would try it again and cook for longer. Simple recipe which is a plus for me.

Manuel Cordovez says:

Simple recipe unfortunately I did not get good results with either the beans or the rice. The rice was too gooey and the beans definitely undercooked. Maybe suggest modifying it by using less broth and canned beans instead.
