Red Beans & Rice


I love red beans & rice. I grew up eating it from a (simple) recipe my mom made up when I was younger.

Ingredients
2 cans VanCamps New Orleans style red beans (or any brand's New Orleans style--a must)
Package Eckrich sausage
Louisiana-style hot sauce
Minced dried onion
Rice (cooked)

Cut sausage into rounds and then fourths. Empty red beans into large skillet and add sausage. Shake 5ish shakes of hot sauce and 3 or 4 of the onion. Cover and cook on medium-high heat 10-15 minutes, stirring every 3 minutes or so. Uncover and turn down heat to low for 10 minutes until sauce thickens. Serve over hot rice. A guilty treat!
