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.

PinDescription
If you’ve never cooked dried beans before, you will be surprised by how easy they are to do! And the rice practically cooks itself.
Ingredients
4 cups raw brown rice
8 cups water
4 lbs dry pinto beans
8 cups water
garlic powder, salt, pepper, cumin
5 bouillion cubes
1 large onion
Instructions
Add 8 cups water to a large stockpot for rice.
Turn on high and bring to a boil.
In the meantime, rinse beans to remove any dirt or small stones.
Put in a large stockpot and cover with water by several inches.
Add a whole chopped onion.
Turn on high and bring to a boil.
If your rice water is boiling, add 4 cups of raw rice and stir it in.
Turn rice off, cover, and let sit at least 15 minutes until done.
Stir beans every so often to check water levels. Add water if needed.
When beans are done, serve by adding a scoop of rice to a bowl, top with beans, and sprinkle raw onion over if desired.
I like hot sauce, so I add a few dashes of that to mine!
