I used to make it a lot and really like it. I just recently started Weight Watchers and need to figure out how many servings, or cups it makes. I don't want to make it and find it is a huge amount of points. excellent receipe. Thanks, Penny Hi,

I was asked to prepare it for 60 people and I am clueless as to how much to make. There will be other food but this will be one of the main dishes being served. How many batches do you think I should make for this many people? Also I wanted to let folks know that I always cook the full recipe (it's just my husband and me) and I portion out the left overs in food sealer bags, seal them up and freeze them. I have left them in freezer for over 4 months and the taste great. Someone told me that if you use the canned beans-which I don't - then defrost it the beans are mushy, but w the dry beans they aren't mushy at all. Very fresh and a quick wat to fix a nice hot meal. I have even frozen left over cooked rice and it comes out fluffy and fresh tasting. I have made this recipe several times now and now people are asking me to make it when we have potlucks.

I've never tried it with chicken, but it would probably taste fine with some chicken legs or thighs. Hi Christina.

I was making it for a very large crowd, so I doubled the amount of beans b/c I couldn't find anywhere in the recipe where it indicated how many servings one bag made. I think I over did it though, so there will be lots of leftovers. Haven't served it yet to the crowd, but I have taste tested of course and it tastes delicious. This will be a recipe that I will definitely repeat, maybe add some chicken or sausage next time? How do you think chicken would taste with it as I am not a huge sausage fan, but my husband is?

Jasmine rice is our everyday rice and that's what we eat with these beans. I hope you enjoy the beans and rice as much as we do. Hi T.

I used a variety of tomatoes from our garden for the diced portion, and substituted the bell peppers with a combination of homegrown red cowhorn peppers and a smaller amount of Jalepeno's to make up the difference for the bells and green peppers ... should have a nice kick! it's great to have many recipes and mostly used my tomatoes so far this harvest to make spaghetti sauce ... thanks to this recipe, I can now use the harvest to make some great beans... we'll scoop it onto a bed of rice, what is the best rice for cuban style in your opinion? We'll be putting this on top of high-grade Jasmine rice... thanks again, the last time I had this, I was with a family that absolutely made the best black beans, they were from Cuba, and I remember the whoever was in charge of the beans had already learned to cook the beans in the slow cooker ... I think you're on to something! I will report the taste in the morning, the kitchen is nicely aromatic right about now!
