I put a lid on it and let it go for 20 or 30 minutes on low. Then I toss it into a large container with the Wendy's chile and I'm good for 6 days, 7 meals total. Each day I put a small amount of already cooked chicken or meat into a bowl and ladle some chile over it, then stir and top it with already made rice I have in a container in the fridge. I am proud of this meal and just had to share it. Thanks.

>>> Yeah, I am aware of that, but I don't care now and then when I am not in the mood for cooking a bunch of stuff. I doll it up pretty good with natural stuff. I know I could just make my own beans and doll them up too, which I do now and then - but sometimes when lazy I go with the family sized bucket of Wendy's chile. I am not a big time fast food person. They don't have a Popeye's chicken around here. To me, most fried chicken chains are about the same. However, I have to admit I really do enjoy Popeye's red beans and rice. I used to get a small container nearly every night while driving cab in L.A., enough to keep up the energy, not enough to bog me down. I asked them for the ingredients and they gave me a small pamphlet. It was all dehydrated natural stuff. The only ingredient some might be turned of by was monosodium glutomate. I think Popeye's read beans and rice is good tasting stuff. Haven't had it in years though.
