You know, I totally forgot to add that I use a really good Andouille sausage in my black eyed peas which you put in about 25 minutes before finish in the big ole pot. Seriously, the only thing you can do to beans and rice is UNDER season and that's a terrible thing to do :) Doesn't have to be spicy, but should be complex in flavor. Dried spices always work better because they are more concentrated.

I have a rice and bean recipe to share that is on the Spanish side. I put small cans of tomatoe puree and paste, celantro, saffron powder packet, salt & pepper, & a little water to create a thick but moveable sauce; boil. Mix this with cooked rice, lightly toss with black beans.

I make my dad's Red Beans and Rice (he was from Louisiana) and you can absolutely adjust the spice to your liking. When I'm making it for the masses, I just put out the Crystal Hot sauce for them to doctor their own. I do the same for my Hoppin John (black eyed peas over rice).
My Hoppin John is my own recipe (whatever I have on hand, but typically involves dried and soaked black eyed peas, a bit of bacon chopped fine then leave the grease to saute your onion and green pepper until soft. To this, I add my spices. A little mexican oregano and Chechere's all purpose creole seasoning. It has a good salt quotient, so adust as you go. Add chicken stock or veggie stock (but you've blown this dish for vegetarians if you use the bacon  ) and cook beans until tender, not obliterated. I like mine with a bite, especially over rice. To the served dish I add chopped green onion or chives, some sour cream or cheddar cheese and fresh chopped Roma tomatoes. My husband just likes his plain with buttered corn bread mashed in 
I think the key to any bean and rice dish is the roux and the length of time in which you let the flavors meld. ALWAYS better the next day!

Heres a good one for black beans....
Tortilla and Black Bean Pie
Yield Serves 6
Ingredients
4 flour tortillas (10 inches)
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 large onion, diced
1 jalapeno chile, minced (remove seeds and ribs for less heat)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cans (15 ounces each) black beans, drained and rinsed
12 ounces beer, or 1 1/2 cups water
1 package (10 ounces) frozen corn
4 scallions, thinly sliced, plus more for garnish
8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded (2 1/2 cups)
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. With a paring knife, trim tortillas to fit a 9-inch springform pan. Use the bottom of the pan as a guide. Set aside.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, jalapeno, garlic, and cumin; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes.
Add beans and beer, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer until liquid has almost evaporated, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in corn and scallions, and remove from heat. Taste and adjust for seasoning.
Fit a trimmed tortilla in bottom of springform pan; layer with 1/4 of the beans and 1/2 cup of cheese. Repeat three times, using 1 cup cheese on top layer. Bake until cheese melts, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove side of pan; sprinkle pie with scallions. To serve, slice into wedges.

I would like one also and I agree with Linda too . Most of them are too spicy and would love something a little milder without red pepper flakes. I am so allergic to those.

I would be interested in that too? Many posts online are just too hot and southwest for me personally.
