Here is another one of my favorite Weeknight Recipes!
There are some weeknights when dinners are an after thought. I try to meal plan, but it doesn’t always happen. I have some items that I always keep in the house – for the nights when I don’t have a plan. This recipe includes these stockpile items and is super quick to make. I have a rice maker, which makes it even easier to make.
Did I mention that this is one dish meal?
This beans and rice recipe is so easy and versatile – you can make it as a side dish or as a main dish. It is perfect for a cold winter day. It has just enough kick to please your taste buds!
So here is what you need to make this one:
- 4oz of VELVEETA®
- 3 Cups of cooked white or brown rice
- 2 10 oz Can Ro*Tel® Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies
- 1 small Can of Red Kidney Beans (drain)
- 1 small Can of Black Beans (drained)
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 small Can of Pinto Beans (drained)
- optional – ground beef or grilled chicken
Combine all ingredients in pot. Do not drain Ro*Tel® Diced Tomatoes, include all contents of the can. Mix all ingredients and cook on med heat for 20 minutes and VELVEETA® is fully melted. Stir frequently. Optional – add beef or chicken to make a one dish meal. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Note: If you want to make it extra cheesy, you may want to increase the VELVEETA® to 8oz.
To make it less spicy/kick, eliminate the cumin.

I just bought some Velveeta and wasn’t sure what all I’d use it for. I’m thinking this recipe would be a great use for it! Thanks for sharing.
