Ben's Original™ Ready Rice™, Red Beans & Rice, 8.5 oz. pouch

When you want the rich, savory comfort of classic red beans and rice without spending hours simmering a pot on the stove, BEN'S ORIGINAL™ READY RICE™ in Red Beans %26 Rice is an absolute pantry hero. Blending tender long-grain white rice with savory red beans, smoky seasonings, onion, and garlic, this 8.5 oz microwaveable pouch delivers authentic, Louisiana-style flavor with absolute zero cleanup.

These have some outstanding flavor and they go with most anything quick to fix 90 seconds and they warm up again nicely if you have any leftovers that is

This makes a super quick meal in just 60 seconds. The beans and rice taste good with shredded cheese on top. I often buy Santa Fe black beans to add to the rice, as well. They are also microwaveable. The two combined with shredded cheese make a great meal. I'm 70 and always looking for healthy choices that don't take much prep time. I'm not fond of cooking and these microwaveable meals are quick, filling and taste great.

Zero flavor out of the pack. Definitely use this as a base and add to it. A little cilantro, seasoning, and hot sauce made it much better. I bet it would be great with some canned chicken, if you need everything to be shelf stable. Portion size was decent.

I made the mistake of removing contents from packaging into a bowl when microwaving and it came out a little dry, I won't do that again. The taste was good though, very flavorful.

it went to my neighbor's house by mistake I must have put the rest on my account but I got that fixed

This is ALMOST exactly what I was looking for, in a quick and tasty, relatively healthy snack or meal! I have a quick cure for the areas that I felt were weak (culinarily!) To give it a little texture variety, and some welcome SWEET flavor to add to its more overwhelmingly generic red beans SAVORY, I added a handful of dried cranberries to the red beans and rice mixture, once out of the microwave!

Look and smells like dog food. Hardly any beans. Very dry. They tried with the spice. I gave 3 stars for 1) ease of prep, 1) I did eat it although I added sour cream for texture and 1) for price point. Very close but the overall visual was unappealing.

It's a pouch of lightly seasoned rice, tasting primarily of preservatives, and containing only about 20 red beans in the whole pouch. Very disappointing.

I so hoped that this would be an easy meal for me and my husband, we both have medical issues, and looking for fast easy meals, this is such a disappointment, I won't be buying this again.
