In what store can you find Hunts Chili Beans in Brentwood California?
I have the very sad news to tell you that Hunt's doesn't make these beans anymore... there are many of us out there looking for these beans. I have heard that smart and final beans are very close. Might I suggest Sun Vista Chili Beans? These beans nearly replicate the original Hunt's Chili Beans in taste, sauce and consistency.

Is black bean sauce with rice healthy for you?
yes only if you put 90% sauce and 10% rice for healthy life
No, probably not. If the pan was properly covered and slowly cooled all night, you will have terrible forms of bacteria growing in and on it (a textbook worst case scenario). If it were left uncovered to cool on the stove all night, well, would you eat a smoked ham hock that was left out on the counter overnight? If it was uncovered, I might risk eating it. I doubt you would die from it, maybe just diarrhea, but I would not serve it to anyone but myself. If it were covered, however, I absolutely would not risk it.
