**Recipe**
One can pinto beans One package rice & sauce mixture. I use Lipton Original Long Grain & Wild Rice. One cup of chopped bell pepper and onions, mixed to your taste proportions. 1/4 cup of water in addition to amount specified on packaged rice mixture.	Place onions and peppers in sauce pan. Add rice, water as directed by rice mixture, and 1/4 cup additional water. Cook according to directions on package. Add beans, with liquid, and heat through. Most pre-packaged rice mixtures thicken on standing. Just follow directions! Serve in bowls with hunks of French bread for a really quick, but nutritious, meal.

Makes about 4 cups. Leftovers can be stored in individual portions for a microwave quick snack.
