"This has been in my family for so long that I don't even remember who Ruth is, but if there was a family gathering, you can bet someone would make this. To do this in the true style of MaMa Ruth, it has to be done in a dutch oven. Keep in mind, this is Southern - it ain't about healthy ;)"

Just got up from a supper of Mama Ruth's Red Rice and we all loved it. I have seen this southern dish served out of S.C. but the only description I could get was that it was made with spagetti sauce. Now I have a recipe for this good, inexpensive dish that my whole family likes.Thanks for sharing this.

My name is Candy, married in 1993 to Tom. We have two kids (ages 13 and 11) and live in Austin, TX. Most of the cooking is done by Tom these days and he loves to play around and experiment with food. I own a bookkeeping business from a home office and Tom is a teacher so we stay busy and are always on the look out for something fun, fast and healthy. View my all about me website for links and other information about us - <a href=http://www.candybeauchamp.com>HERE</a>. We both absolutely love to read! Our kids are turning into little bookworms too :) We are all Kindle addicts and read a lot, my husband and I easily read 200 books per year between the two of us.
