The Cabin

Small homestead at the lake

Red Beans & Rice

This has always been one of my favorite things to eat. The best I have ever had was at the restaurant inside the aquarium in New Orleans about 30 years ago. Now that I am trying to learn & cook more while we are at the cabin, I decided to make some for the first time ever. Sure glad I did…:it came out great. Kim had this recipe that she got from someone many years ago. I pretty much went by that with a couple of tweaks. Put all the ingredients in a pot & cook on low for around 2 hours. Stir all through that time to keep it from boiling. In a separate pot towards the end, make your rice. Put your rice in a bowl & pile the rest on top & enjoy.

Ingredients:

4 15oz cans of chili beans rinsed

1 onion chopped

2 bell peppers chopped

1 celery chopped

1 jalapeño chopped

1 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp minced garlic

1/2 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

1/2 tsp Cajun seasoning

1 pack of andouille sausage sliced

2 cartons of beef broth
