Black Bean Pilaf is an old family recipe that everyone LOVES. White rice simmered in bouillon seasoning & mixed with black beans. It’s so easy it is to make! This post first appeared over at Real Housemoms where I’m a contributor.
My family loves side dishes. I personally like to focus on the main dish & maybe pair it with a dinner roll or something. That’s all I need. But the family- they like to round it out with extras. So, fortunately, I was able to bring home a whole bunch of family cookbooks when we were clearing out some things a bit ago. They are sure loaded with great ideas that we all remember from the past. We loved them then, so of course, we are loving them now when I add them to our weeknight dinners.

I love that I don’t have to buy the box mix to make this. These are all ingredients I always have on hand & it comes together so quickly. It’s just so incredibly easy that most of the time I leave this dish to my kids to make while I prepare our main dish. We use our large covered skillet because we are usually doubling this recipe & it makes the whole thing so simple. Now this rice, it’s divine. That deep simmered in beef flavor mixed with the freeze dried bell peppers truly makes me crave each & every bite. For someone that really doesn’t do side dishes, this one really grabs me. That honestly doesn’t happen very often, but I just kept coming back for more.

I’m visiting from Friendship Friday. This looks like a good recipe, other than the ramen noodles. I’m a bit hesitant because of this ingredient but I’m a curious minded person who likes trying new things, so I will save it to make some time. Thanks for sharing and have a gr8 weekend
