Easy Red Beans and Rice Recipe

June 19, 2024 by Felesha Leave a Comment

This smoky, comforting red beans and rice recipe seasoned with ham hock is chock full of flavor and can rival the best of the best!!

How’s it going?!?!? It’s been a while it seems. I have been busy with market pop ups and designing the Say Grace Collective Coffee Cart. It’s gonna be a beauty!! I could scream!!

I have a soft launch coming up on July 6th if you happen to be near the Detroit area. Would love to see you there if you’re a coffee lover like me!! I am so excited to see what God does through this ministry. I am overjoyed at the opportunity to encourage one another over a delicious cup of coffee.

HOW TO MAKE EASY RED BEANS AND RICE RECIPE

Well, let’s get back to these beans!! If I’m being honest, my very first encounter with red beans and rice was at the fast food chicken restaurant, Popeyes. You know…Love that chicken from Popeyes!!! In addition to their crunchy, spicy fried chicken, I would always order a side of their creamy red beans and rice & a jalapeno for added spice of course! Yum!!

The easy red beans and rice recipe includes slow-cooked kidney beans in a ham hock broth, veggies, andouille sausage and white rice. It’s a southern comfort dish that is so flavorful and super simple to make.

It’s one of hubby’s favorite dishes just like the Ham and Beans recipe, pinto beans and the Cajun 15 Bean Soup. We enjoy them the most with Hot Water Cornbread or just about any kind of cornbread!! I hope you’ll give them a try. Say Grace and enjoy!!
