My Favorite Homemade Mix – Red Beans and Rice
admin
I used to buy quite a bit of red bean and rice mix. I love it as a side with any type of grilled meat. I also make a one pot meal out of it by adding some cooked chicken and sausage to it. It’s just a handy mix to have around to fix a quick side or main dish. Unfortunately it is only available in my area as a brand item, and prices for those have shot up over the past six months or so. To at least try and get my grocery budget back under control, I started looking for some recipes and suggestions to make some of these convenience foods, including the bean and rice mix myself.
I came across a website that has a great recipe for it that was pretty simple to put together and actually tastes better than the name brand stuff. I’ve gone through the entire bean recipe section of the site and have come across quite a few more recipes that my family loves. I’d forgotten all about a good pot of lentil soup or pinto beans. Now that’s some yummy, hardy meals that fill your stomach and are very cheap to make.
