Romano Rice and Beans image

This is a quick and easy dish for a busy weeknight meal. Serve with a crisp side salad, corn bread, green onion and jalapeno peppers for a complete vegetarian meal. I usually cook brown rice and freeze in 2 to 2 1/2 cup bags for later use. If your rice is frozen just pop it into the microwave for a minute or 2 and then add to the bean mixture.
