A quick and easy red beans and rice recipe IMG_5242

A quick and easy red beans and rice recipe – if you have ever been to New Orleans you would of tried this delicious dish. Simple food made so delicious with seasoning and herbs. It is a Mardi Gras in your mouth – “A dance or celebration in your mouth!” The best part of theis recipe is that it is so EASY! This serves a minimum of 8 large bowls. You can stretch it by serving more rice with each bowl – maybe feeding up to 12. It really depends on your bowl size. Wink, Wink! So my bad – the image name reads slow cooker – as I put the batch in a slow cooker and shipped it off to school to stay on warm for 4 hours! This recipe is a cook top recipe – but it did simmer all morning in the crock pot at school!
