Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients. Use day-old rice, as it holds its shape better and doesn't get mushy. Select a flavorful ham with a good smoked flavor, and use a rich chicken broth for maximum taste.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too much ham, beans, and rice, the dish will be too thick and the rice won't cook evenly.
  • Cook the rice separately. This will prevent the rice from becoming mushy and will give you more control over the texture of the dish.
  • Season to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bit of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
  • Serve with your favorite sides. Ham, red beans, and rice pairs well with cornbread, coleslaw, or a simple green salad.

Ham, red beans, and rice is a classic Southern dish that is easy to make and packed with flavor.
