I’m sorry for the slow-response, Brenda, but I didn’t see this ’til today! Eep! I’m gonna say you need the dry kind for this recipe. The amounts of liquid in the recipe are absorbed into the dry beans as they plump.

Question for ya…I have all the ingredients but the beans are in a can and not the dried kind. Would those work too or do I really need the dry kind?

Thanks! Can’t wait to try this.

Living in Louisiana, red beans and rice is a staple food at our house. Hot or cold outside, its good! Even better if you throw in some tasso with the sausage, and its even better served with cornbread and a tall glass of sweet tea.

Awesome recipe!

YUM! This was AWESOME! I did add a teeny tiny bit of Lea and Perrins Whatsishere sauce (from the Frugal Gourmet’s recipe) and a few dashes of Franks Hot Sauce, and I was so nervous about not soaking the beans, but it was divine. And even better after I reheated it. I love slow cooker recipes that do NOT require you to brown meat or do lots of extra stuff in a different pan, so this was particularly nice.

Well THIS New Orleans girl is going to give you a BIG Thumbs UP!!!

I love it when people outside of New Orleans get a little taste of our Heavenly cuisine. I no longer live in New Orleans, but I make sure all of my kids know what good food really is. Red Beans and Rice… GOOD FOOD!

Have you tried Jambalaya? You can find oven recipes, which are super easy and require no babysitting, and you can find stove top recipes, which need a bit of stirring here and there. You can find a tomato based one or a chicken stock based one… I use both in the same pot. I make Jambalaya when I have a bit of chicken left over from something else. I pair it with smoked sausage… and you magically have a whole new meal for little cost! My five kiddos love it and my Hubby loves that it’s a super low cost meal.

I cannot wait to try this. I have yet to find a recipe that tastes like my uncle’s (which he will not share while he is alive!) This sounds closer to what his tastes like.

A complete meal in a bowl. The beans are very flavorful.

Hi Connie. My sweet little beans are called “small red chili beans”.
