Red Beans and Rice-An Easy Mardi Gras Dinner
Today I wanted to share with you this super easy delicious Red Beans and Rice Dinner. It’s one of my favorite meals to eat and maybe even one of my favorite meals to cook because it is just so easy. And even better you can add it to your fun Mardi Gras menu tomorrow!
This is a family recipe.
I’ve been eating for a while, especially while in college because my aunt fed me often so I must give the credit of this recipe to my Aunt Mary.
She makes some of the best comforting dishes but what’s amazing about each one is they’re super simple to make and even more yummy to eat! And what’s even better is they are fairly simple to clean up, at least that is what my aunt makes it look like. Just trust me you want to be more like Aunt Mary in your kitchen every day! Always clean, always yummy, and super comforting.
The Red Beans and Rice recipe is below. If you make it, comment below, I’d love to hear if you like it!
Extra Add-on Fun
I love to add a dollop of sour cream to the meal once it’s on my dish and have a yummy piece of cornbread.
We use these cornbread rolls. They are so easy and surprisingly delicious, I actually don’t know why I say surprisingly because pretty much everything Pillsbury puts out is delicious.
Also, when I made this recipe the other day I didn’t have any rice but boil in a bag rice so I used that instead and added the rice at the end to the dish.
