This is the best flavor of Zatarain's - universal pleaser.Jun 06, 2007
By Joshua G. Feldman
"Technophile"
I love all the flavors of Zatarain's. I love to cook cajun style food and will make my own from scratch when I have the time. Reality means I usually focus on cooking the main course and will use boxed shortcuts for side dishes. Zatarain's really shine in this role. You give up surprisingly little for a ready mix product. The flavors are within shouting distance of the real deal. Compared to most foods made from a mix that require less than 2 minutes of your attention - it's practically a miracle.
The Jambalaya and the Black Beans & Rice are the best flavors. The Jambalya is hot and spicy - so kids don't like it. The black beans & rice is a little spicy too - but subtle. Mainly it's zesty and hearty and delicious. My children eat it. My little son just devours it - and has since he was a tot. My daughter less so. Actually I think I love this stuff more than my wife - so maybe there's a gender thing going on. It's a little greasy when made properly. I recommend using 2 1/2 cups of water, instead of the 2 3/4 it recommends on the box - for thicker, less soupy rice. The foil lined container is bug proof and keeps for a long time. Because it's a big flavor it sits best next to something assertive - like steak or blackened anything. It's a regular side for us on BBQ nights.

Great flavor, convenient to buy by the caseJul 29, 2011
By A. Newhouse
These are the same box mixes that I've been buying locally for a while. That's a good thing! We like the flavor, and usually add an extra can of black beans. This works well with some salsa and cheese as a simple but hearty chip dip, and also as a good base for vegetarian tacos/fajitas. If you haven't tried these before, you should be able to try a single box from your local supermarket, so you don't have to risk wasting most of a case if you don't like them.
It's very convenient (and very economical) to buy these by the case from Amazon - quick delivery with Subscribe & Save, no problems at all.
Recommended!

By J. Witzel
i love this stuff. all you do is cook it up like the directions say then add what you want (i love sliced kielbasa)and dinner is ready. i don't have the patience for cooking and i'm not very good at it but my family likes this dish. it has a little heat but my 3 year old eats and likes it. i cook up 2 boxes for my family of 6.
A Wonderful SurpriseJan 06, 2012
By William Buckingham
In an era where companies are increasingly using every trick in the books to cut costs of their products, Zatarain's Black Beans and Rice surprised me by being an incredibly tasty dish with ALL RICE that could still be microwaved pretty easily. I haven't yet tried to cook this rice dish on the stove, but although the microwave instructions require a bit of babysitting, stirring every few minutes, the end result is a slightly creamy rice and beans dish with a really great kick and aroma of cajun spices. Unlike most of the rice (with pasta usually cut in) dishes on the market, you can really smell it cooking from a room away, and when you first open the foil package the mix is kept in to stay fresh, you get a blast of the spices as well. You can tell at every stage that it's a high quality product, and it comes through in the end. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for either a great meal or a rice side dish for dinner.
Best cheapest camping food available!Aug 12, 2009
By reluctant techie
Here is the skinny on using this as camping food: get some reflectix insulation and make a cozy for your pot with lid. bring pot to boil, dump this box of dried beans and rice in, stir and take off heat to put in cozy. Wait about half an hour and it is ready - saves on fuel because the simmer time is about 23 minutes over low flame.
Everyone LOVES this stuff. At home or on the trail. Add a pouch of tuna while in the woods (and maybe some dried hot peppers - pepin in the mexican section) and eat it with flour tortillas and I personally promise HEAVEN in your mouth!
