This is one of the dinners on my Menu Planning Monday plan for this week.  I love the combo of sweet potatoes and black beans.  This meal is so easy and very tasty.  It’s a good, quick meal to make when I just don’t have a lot of time, ideas or ingredients.  I usually use brown rice, but ran out of time, so I used white this time.

This makes enough for my husband, son and I, with some leftover, so I imagine it would feed 4 people.  Some salad with it would be nice too.

Ingredients

• 2 large sweet potatoes
• 1 can (or equivalent) of black beans*
• 1 cup rice

Directions

• Cut sweet potatoes, coat with olive oil, spread into a roasting pan
• Roast potatoes on 375 F for 30 – 40 minutes or so, or until tender
• Cook 1 cup worth of rice according to directions
• Once sweet potatoes are roasted, combine with black beans to heat through
• Serve on top of rice

* I like to use Trader Joe’s Cuban Black Beans
