You can make delicious rice and beans in a rice cooker, which is perfect for an easy hands-off dinner. Add all the ingredients to your rice cooker and hit start! Dinner is ready in no time.
You may have wondered, “Can you cook rice and beans together in a rice cooker?” and the answer is yes! I love this method because everything cooks at once and all I have to do is press start! I don’t have a fancy rice cooker but it turns out perfectly every time. You can also play around with the seasonings for different flavors. These rice cooker rice and beans are also a great base for burritos, tacos, or burrito bowls. I like adding lots of vegetables and toppings for a filling meal!
How to Make Rice and Beans in the Rice Cooker
All you need to do is add 1 cup of white rice, 2 cups of water, 1 15oz can of drained black beans, and seasonings. Give everything a stir and then turn the rice cooker on. Mine cooked for about 25 minutes but you can just use the white rice setting, as the cooking time will depend on your rice cooker.

I love this combination and the rice cooker made it so easy. I went out and bought one through your link and now I have to make all your other recipes 😜 Thanks for sharing.
On my rice cooker, I cook one cup white rice with one cup water. Should I still use two cups water if I’m adding the beans, i.e. are you adding the same water you would normally add if you were doing rice alone or are you increasing it?
These rice and beans were so easy to make and perfect to do along with just about any meal. Made a burrito bowl and it was delicious!
So simple and an easy go to side dish for any meal, great mixture for a vegetarian burrito too.
