Weight Watchers has changed their program. The points listed on my blog for WW points is for the old Momentum program.

I will be updating my recipes for the new Points Plus program. I am going to list the 4 nutrients needed to calculate the Points Plus for the recipe so that you can easily figure the PP per serving.

I am going to leave the old Momentum Points in case anybody is still following that program.

Black Beans & Rice

1/2 a large sweet onion, chopped
1 small bell pepper, any color
1-2 garlic cloves, minced
1T olive oil
2 cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1 c. salsa (I used fresh from Sam's Club)
Salt, pepper, and cumin to taste
Hot cooked brown rice
Garnishes: Shredded cheddar, black olives, sour cream, anything you like on yours

In a large skillet, saute onion, pepper and garlic in olive oil until onion is translucent. Add black beans and cook until moisture mostly evaporates. Add salsa and head through. Serve over hot rice and with whatever garnishes you choose.

1/2 c. brown rice = 2 WW points
1 c. black beans = 4 WW points
Garnishes extra
