Answer 1

RED BEANS AND RICE

2 c. (1 lb.) dried red kidney beans
5 strips bacon (or ham bone or 1/4 lb. salt pork)
1/2 c. uncooked rice
2 1/2 qts. water
1 pod garlic
Salt and pepper to taste

Soak beans overnight in 1 quart water in a heavy iron pot. Add another 1 1/2 quarts water, cut up meat, garlic, and a little salt. Simmer slowly 3 to 4 hours or until beans are very soft and water has cooked down to a thick red sauce. Add salt and pepper and serve over hot, fluffy rice. With hot bread and salad, makes a hearty meal for 6.
Leftover red beans can be made into soup by putting through blender with some chicken bouillon and a little lemon juice. Stir in 1 tablespoon sherry per serving, with hard boiled egg sprinkled on top.

RED BEANS & RICE WITH SMOKED SAUSAGE

2 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 med. onion, chopped
1 can (4 oz.) chopped green chilies, drained
3/4 c. Mahatma rice, uncooked
1 c. water
1 beef-flavored bouillon cube
1 can (16 oz.) Bush's Best light red kidney beans or Bush's Best red beans
1/2 c. (2 oz.) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 lb. smoked sausage
1 tsp. Tabasco brand pepper sauce

In medium saucepan, heat oil over medium high heat; add onion and chilies and saute 3 minutes. Add rice, water and bouillon cube. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer covered, 10 minutes until rice is tender. Stir in beans, cheese, smoked sausage and Tabasco. Serve warm.
Serves 4.

Answer 2

Using canned beans rather than dried beans lets you begin any standard red beans and rice recipe at the point where dry beans have been soaked. Using canned beans is a time saver and doesn't affect the taste of the final product.

Answer 3

If you can find the brand Blue Runner, they make the best beans. You can add a little onion and a little water or stock and your smoked sausage.....I thinks there is a spicy New Orleans variety. The nacy bean is good too, add a little stock and some left over ham and andouille it makes a great soup.

Answer 4

Cut up about a pound of Sausage that you like into slices and brown in a skillet.
Add about a cup of chopped onions, 1/2 cup of bell pepper, garlic powder.
Cook until the veggies are tender and then add a couple of cans of beans
(I like Blue Runner creamy red beans).
Let it cook down for about 20 minutes and serve over rice.

Answer 5

If you have a recipe you like personally, just replace the amount of dry beans after they are cooked with an equal amount of canned beans. Use the liquid from the beans to replace the equal amount of water.

Answer 6
