Angie,
Yes, drained and rinsed! The only way to keep the water for this one is if you could determine a way to cook the beans and then add the rice at just the right amount. That would be a possible way to use the water, but might change the taste. Katie

Hi Katie,

Should the beans be drained and rinsed before adding them to the rice? The chili recipe I use says to drain and rinse the beans before adding them. I always hate to throw out all that good cooking water. It seems like it would have so many nutrients in it, but it would definitely affect the consistency.

Thanks!
Angie

I could actually eat this as is…it looks great. I just asked my husband if he likes mexican rice – he does. So I’m putting it in the to make file.

My mom never made Rice-A-Roni or anything like it…everything was always from scratch. I think the first time I had Rice-A-Roni was when I was in high school at a friends house.
