Red Beans and Rice - Weeknight Recipe image

This recipe is a VERY modified recipe I got years ago. Very little of the original recipe exists. I took the general concept, made it a 'weeknight' recipe (--45 minutes prep to eat) and gave it a LOT of homemade flavor without all the work. As good as this is the day you eat it, it is better the next day, so it is great as leftovers AND if you bring this to a potluck, I guarantee you will be the hero.

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 slices bacon, diced
1 bunch fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 (16 ounce) package smoked sausage, sliced
3 (15 ounce) cans red beans, rinsed
2/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 large onion, chopped (yellow or white)
2 garlic cloves, smashed
1 cup chicken stock
4 cups plain white rice, cooked

Steps:

  • PREP STEP:.
  • Just think, small piles of stuff, don't worry about being perfect, ultimately this all ends up in one pot and imperfect is still delicious and beautiful too!
  • Pile one: Dice the bacon.
  • Pile two: Finely chop the parsley.
  • Pile three: Slice smoked sausage.
  • Pile four: Rough chop onion.
  • Pile five: Smash garlic.
  • Colander 1: Drain and rinse canned beans.
  • You are now ready to cook:.
  • In a dutch oven or deep skillet with a lid, toss in the bacon. Fry until crispy. (I use home grown bacon, so there is not a lot of fat. If you have more fat than needed to sauté your onion, you can remove the extra and toss it (or give it to the dog).)
  • If you haven't started your rice yet, start it now. This timing will typically ensure everything is done at the same time.
  • Sauté onion and garlic with cooked bacon. When onions are translucent, toss in the fresh parsley. It wilts quickly, so be ready to toss everything else in at this step.
  • Add sausage, Worcestershire sauce, beans, chicken stock. Put lid on pan and simmer (not boil) at least 15 minutes or until the rice is done.
  • Serve over plain white rice.

I made this recipe in my slow cooker and it turned out great. I just threw all the ingredients in the pot and let it cook on low for 8 hours.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ham. I added some chopped ham to the pot and it turned out delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly and the beans turned out perfect. The sauce was a little too spicy for my taste, but that's easily fixed.
