This was really good. I used small red beans and found they needed a little more cooking time. I added 5 more minutes, just right.

We used organic refrigerated salsa works great.

Hi Brian! This recipe makes a total of 8 servings. Each serving is just shy of 2 cups.

Jarred salsa is actually best for this recipe so any jar you like works great. If you meant you don't care for jarred salsa (I look for an organic brand that has no additives), use fresh salsa chunky salsa from the refrigerated section or even homemade will work.

What kind of salsa do you recommend? I am going for eating all natural ingredients and I would have to buy salsa in a jar. Thank you.

I followed the recipe with a mix of vegetable and chicken stock and added slices of about 12 oz. chicken Cajun-style sausage and 6 oz. Italian turkey sausage on top. It was a big hit. (The turkey sausage was frozen, but it all cooked up fine.)

Yes, for this particular recipe cook for 25 minutes.

Can you make this with long brown rice? Or what kind of adjustments would you do? Thanks 😊

Thanks for the feedback Andrea! I would worry the rice would be overcooked, but I am so happy to hear it is perfect for you.

I have made this recipe two times. Both times, the liquid wasn't absorbed enough even after letting pressure release naturally for about twenty five minutes. I just put it back on high pressure for six minutes and then it's perfect. The flavor is great and it's a great side dish or stuffed into a burrito. I will surely make this again with the added cook time. Thanks!

Hi Beth! I am sorry the beans did not soften for you. It may have been that they were older or that your stock had a lot of sodium in it, which can interfere with the beans softening. Also, be sure to not add the taco seasoning or salsa until AFTER cook time has elapsed.

The rice is delicious. The beans were under cooked, and hard. I followed the recipe, in a 6-qt pot. Help?

Hi Sandi! I am so glad you enjoyed the flavor and results. I have not had issues with liquid left. Let us know how it goes with less liquid.

Tastes amazing, I used brown basmati rice and dried red beans. Rice cooked perfectly, red beans are slightly al dente, which we prefer. Only thing is I drained the water/chicken broth because there was so much liquid left, probably 2-3 cups of liquid that didn't absorb. Cooked on manual high for 24 minutes and 10 minute release. Can't imagine that basmati vs long grain would make that much difference? Will do again, but try with 2 cups less liquid.

Hi Cyrena! I hope you are still able to enjoy the flavors. Were your beans dry or soaked or canned? The extra water accounts for using dried beans. If you used dried beans and your rice was still mushy, try decreasing the water by 2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup the next time you make it.
