My sister said my rice and beans tasted like sad rice and beans, so I changed one thing

My sister came over for dinner last week and told me my rice and beans tasted like something you eat because you have to, not because you want to. She said to stop cooking them separate and just cook the rice right in the bean pot with the liquid from dried beans instead of canned. I tried it with a pound of dried pinto beans and 2 cups of rice and the whole pot cost me about $3.50, and it actually tastes like a real meal now instead of two sad sides sitting next to each other. What cheap tricks do you all use to make the same old staples feel like actual food?
