CLASSIC RED BEANS & RICE

July 17, 2017

Time for us to add that cajun favorite to our weeknight dinner rotation. We include andouille sausage in ours, but the seasoning for the red beans gives so much flavor, you could easily skip the sausage for a meatless meal. Usually you soak beans overnight, but I find in a pinch six to eight hours does the trick. So if it is the morning of when you wanted to make this, you can totally still sneak it in. I put lots of elements into these for flavor, as you will see.

Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, red wine vinegar, garlic powder, and mustard powder to name a few!
