AUTHENTIC LOUISIANA RED BEANS AND RICE
Authentic Cajun flavor! I grew up in Louisiana and love red beans and rice; these are just like I remember. Serve with Tabasco sauce for a little kick. My family loved to splash a little cider vinegar in each bowl.

RED BEANS AND RICE WITH VEGGIES AND BEEF
My spin on a classic red beans and rice. You can also make vegetarian as well.Hope you enjoy. I used fresh garden banana peppers b/c bell peppers were not fully grown yet, but if you have bell peppers I would use them instead. I had to change this recipe. I originally had it with regular rice and it wouldn't cook up fast enough so I changed it to instant. Hope this helps.
