Jamerrill’s Beans, Rice, and Cornbread Recipe | Large Family Style!
I shared a picture on Instagram a few weeks ago with my weekend meal plan. I mentioned how I was making a large pot of beans, rice, and cornbread per my husband’s request. Several moms asked me for a cooking vlog with how I cook my beans, so here you go… Jamerrill’s Beans, Rice, and Cornbread Recipe | Large Family Style!
Original from Instagram, “Weekend meal plan –> I spent this morning cooking ahead for this weekend. That burns calories, right? ? Completed or in process so far: two loaves of banana bread in the bread machines (for kid snacks + fruit), two pans of cornbread from the oven (to go along with dinner), three loaves of French Toast (for Saturday/Sunday breakfasts), large pot of beans & large pot of rice (requested by hubby as a favorite and quick no brainer large family meal for a busy weekend — we’re chopping up and stacking some fallen trees). For my #trimhealthymama adaptations, I made Ezekiel bread French Toast for myself. I’m also working on eating down a #slowcooker full of my cabbage soup (recipe on the blog for that. Can be either a #fuelpull, #smeal, or #crossover depending on how you swing it). WHAT’S YOUR WEEKEND MEAL PLAN?”
In the video, I’m using Pinto Beans and Brown Rice. I also share my Breadman Bread Maker and the bread maker that I found at the thrift store for $3. You can find my Cornbread in the Bread Machine Recipe here.

- Stir beans every so often to check water levels. Add water if needed.

Here are more recipes from my kitchen!
Looks yummy! Do all the kids enjoy this? Might try it soon! Thanks for sharing !
They do! Amelia (age 3) even eats it with fresh onion. Who knew? 😉
Do you have the recipe written out? I’m sure it’s here and I just can’t find it, I am struggling to write it down from the video.
Ours turned out good, we served it with sour cream and shred cheese too !
We are soup beans twice a week growing up. It is very filling and very frugal.? Now I do the same thing for my family.
Have you ever tried it in the crock pot and do you always use pinto beans ?
I do always use pinto beans. I haven’t done them in a slow cooker but I’m sure you can 🙂
I put dried beans in slow cooker with a ham hock. So delicious! I cook with a bay leaf and water covered by an inch overnight. I cannot imagine making them another way. Please try them in a slow cooker.
I SO, SO, SO love watching your videos! You are such a blessing! And I appreciate the way you mentioned the food preference, etc issue. With such love and respect! (yes! I love my exclamation marks…LOL)
Keep up the great videos. And congrats on a beautiful home! 🙂
At my house we love a good pot of Red Beans and Rice 🙂 Lots of onion and bell pepper. We too love the nice broth that forms after the beans have cooked down. I have an Oster Bread machine just like your’s that I found for $10 at a garage sale! I need to get it out and try it! Your cornbread looked great. I follow Trim Healthy Mama, but there are sometimes I will have an off meal as well. Thanks for sharing our encouraging videos. I always enjoy them! We raise chickens as well!
I don’t have a bread maker so could I just mix the recipe in my stand mixer instead? Would it still turn out okay do ya think?
Yes, you can cook it easily in the oven. I made it in the oven a few weekends ago when I had banana breads going in the bread makers. 🙂
If you ever have a ham bone left over it goes great in the beans! I grew up eating soup beans like this with either a ham bone or ham hawks. You should try the crock pot! It makes them even easier then they already are because you can make them without even being home or overnight!
Throwing the corn bread in our bread machine right now! Letting it bake while we get put of the hose for awhile. My children love corn bread. This will be a hit! Thank you!
