Best Beans and Rice Recipe

Red beans and rice is actually a popular New Orleans cajun meal, but it was introduced to me in college by a roommate of mine. I’m not sure where her recipe came from, but I fell in love. When I found this recipe I knew I had to try it and I fell in love all over again. I had forgotten just how good this stuff is. It has so much flavor and just enough spice. If you are a fan of sausage and beans there is no doubt you will love this.

And again it is incredibly easy. I mean who doesn’t love a good crock pot meal? The only thing required is little bit of veggie and sausage chopping. And truthfully you can buy most veggies already chopped if you really want to.

I do warn you though that it makes A LOT! It could easily feed 8-10 people. And it is quite filling with all the beans, sausage and rice -though I don’t add too much rice to mine. The good stuff is in the red beans and rice. You could definitely cut the recipe in half and though I haven’t tried it, I’d imagine you could freeze it (not the rice though – eww).
