Red Beans and Rice with SPAM® image

This is a recipe that my mom made for us while growing up. We live in Minnesota, where SPAM originated, and my father is Puerto Rican; this was an ingenious way for my mother to weave the cultures together. This is a quick and tasty meal, enjoy!

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups uncooked white rice
3 cups water

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The spam and beans are a classic combination, and the Cajun seasoning adds a nice flavor boost. I also added some chopped bell pepper and celery to the pot, and it came out great.

This is a great recipe for a budget-friendly meal. The spam and beans are both inexpensive ingredients, and the Cajun seasoning is a great way to add flavor without breaking the bank.

This is a classic recipe that is always a hit with my family. The spam and beans are a perfect combination, and the Cajun seasoning adds a nice flavor boost. I always make a big pot of this so that I have leftovers for lunch the next day.

This was a good recipe. The spam was a little too salty for my taste, but the beans were cooked perfectly. I would probably use less spam next time.

This dish is so simple and delicious!! The spam adds a nice salty flavor and the Cajun seasoning gives it a little kick. I cooked it in my crock pot all day and it came out perfect. This was one of the easiest weeknight dinners I've made in a while.
