How to Make Barbecued Beans And Rice

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients EXCEPT rice. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
  3. Pour the bean mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish. Cover tightly with a lid or aluminum foil.
  4. Bake for 1 hour, or until the beans are tender and heated through. If using uncooked rice mixed in, add an additional 1/2 cup of liquid to prevent dryness.
  5. While the beans are baking, prepare your rice according to package directions.
  6. Serve the barbecued beans over a generous portion of fluffy rice. Garnish with extra BBQ sauce or green onions, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
