directions

  • (RECIPEZAAR DOESN'T RECOGNISE LIGHT RED BEANS!).
  • Cook the brown rice. Add the 1/2 can of light red beans (including liquid) to the cooked rice and set to one side.
  • Melt the butter and add all the remaining ingredients (excluding the rice with 1/2 can of beans).
  • Simmer the bean mixture for 45 minutes.
  • Stir every 10 mins or so and mash the light red beans with the back of a wooden spoon (you don't have to mash them all, just be sure to give those beans a good mashing!).
  • After 45 mins remove from the heat and add the cooled cooked rice and the additional 1/2 can of beans mixture.
  • Stir it all together until the rice is warmed through again and serve.
  • Reheats really well if you would like to make this ahead of time.
  • Serves 2 as a main course or 4 as a side.

  1. This cooked way quicker than 45 mins so watch it closely. Very easy and good. I don't always have money for the sausage so this is super budget friendly! I made mine without the red pepper flakes and only 2 t. of the black pepper and it was still too spicy for my little kids, so adjust the spice if you have little ones.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Well I am a Brit, London born and bred. Whilst travelling in Australia in 2002, I met an Oklahoman-who I married in 2004 and moved to Texas to be with. We have a daughter born in November '08. At school in the UK I studied Home Economics, but never really "got it". As I have aged and practised cooking (and eating all round the world!) I have a better idea of what works for me, and how to get there. The way I grade my cooking is: if I would have happily paid for something in a resturant, I make it a pretty little card, print it out and keep it for ever. If it was 'just okay' I will almost certainly never cook it again.
