I don’t know about you, but for me, one of the things that always got in the way of eating healthfully is time. After a long work or school day, the last thing I ever wanted to do was cook — and instead, I was one to just grab what was easiest from either our freezer or a local restaurant. We made this rice cooker meal to help with that!
This recipe will help you to:
- save time– you’ll have 6 servings made in just 35 minutes!
- save money– this is made with budget-friendly ingredients!
- save dishes– it requires just one pot!
If anyone is interested in our rice cooker, it is from the brand Vita Clay. This post is not a sponsored post but we did get sent a cooker to try out and we have had great results with it and would highly recommend it! It is not only a rice cooker but it also a slow cooker, digital steamer, and yogurt maker. You can use the code “vegan10” for a discount 🙂

Ingredients
- 2 cups uncooked Jasmine brown rice, thoroughly rinsed
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 (16 oz.) can diced tomatoes
- 1 (15.5 oz.) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed

- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon cumin
