   Vigo knows how to combine flavors. Living in the South, we have occasion to eat “real” home made red beans and rice fairly frequently. Vigo, by far, makes the best store bought variety on the market. Cook it up and add some hot sausage to it and you’ve got a meal that will be devoured in no time flat.

   We been long time fans of their Red Beans & Rice and Black Beans & Rice mixtures and I was delighted to find that they easily cook in our rice cooker by following the following steps: I measured the contents of the package and then simply added an extra half cup of water. Even if you’re cooking 2 packages you only add an extra half cup of water more than the contents. For example, if there is 1 cup of rice & seasoning, I’d use 1 and 1/2 cups of water in my rice cooker. It never fails to come out perfect every time!

   I was very disappointed when Mahatma Red Beans and Rice disappeared from the shelves of all my local supermarkets, and could be found only online at an absurdly high price, plus shipping. I had tried Zatarain’s and hated it — too sweet. Then I read several of the consumer reviews for the Vigo on Amazon, and since almost all were positive, I ordered a case. Glad I did. I still prefer the Mahatma, but the Vigo is similar enough to satisfy me, and it’s now on my Subscribe and Save list. Thanks, Amazon, I don’t miss Mahatma much at all now.

   I 1st found Vigo red beans & rice in a dollar store about 3 years ago. Since then I have been unable to find any mix that beats it! I’ve tried several brands, including the brand that always has commercials on tv(starts with a ‘z’)…none of them come close to Vigo. I just add a pound of browned ground beef or ground turkey to the cooked rice & have myself a whole meal. I just wish that this rice was easier to find in my local grocery stores. Buy it, eat it, love it!
