Red Beans and Rice With Veggies and Beef

"My spin on a classic red beans and rice. You can also make vegetarian as well.Hope you enjoy. I used fresh garden banana peppers b/c bell peppers were not fully grown yet, but if you have bell peppers I would use them instead. I had to change this recipe. I originally had it with regular rice and it wouldn't cook up fast enough so I changed it to instant. Hope this helps."

  1. This was a little disappointing. With the exepction of using 1 full pound of beef, I followed the recipe exactly, (although the directions don't note when to add the can of diced tomatoes.) I cooked for over 2 hours and the beans still weren't soft enough, although I had soaked them overnight. By that time, I'd added at least 10 cups of liquid, and the rice had turned to mush with yet crunchy beans. Hubby is still eating it and enjoys the flavor though.
