Red Beans and Rice

Recipes »  Main Dish  »  Slow Cooker

As a too-far-north Southerner to know how to cook red beans and rice to suit my Cajun husband, I had to learn! This was his favorite before diabetes made this a too-carb-heavy choice for an entree. If you're not watching carbs, bon appetite!

Red Beans and Rice Reviews

Red beans and rice is a traditional Monday meal in South Louisiana. My husband's grandmother said it was because Monday was wash day and this dish could be put on the stove/fire and left all day with nobody 'payin' it no mind.' Serve with cornbread or crusty yeast bread, if you like. [I posted this recipe.]
