Betty’s Cajun Red Beans and Rice Recipe
In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a zesty dish from the Deep South, Cajun Red Beans and Rice. This recipe makes a large amount, and it can be used as the main course of a meal. It is composed of a sauce made from red beans, vegetables, and spices, and it is served over a hot bed of white rice. Add a wedge of hot, tasty cornbread, and it tastes wonderful!
Ingredients:
(2) 15.5 oz. cans red beans, undrained (You may use pinto beans, kidney beans, chili beans—but no beans that have been already flavored with spices.)
½ stick butter or margarine, melted
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped onion
½ cup sliced green onion
½ cup chopped green bell pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
5 oz. diced cooked ham (I used Hormels canned smoked ham, but you may use leftover ham chunks.)
¼ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons Creole seasoning
¾ teaspoon hot sauce (Tabasco or any type of hot pepper sauce may be used.)
1 cup water
2 cups hot, cooked white long grain rice
Saute 1 cup chopped celery, 1 cup chopped onion, ½ cup sliced green onion, and ½ cup chopped green pepper in ½ stick melted butter or margarine until tender. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic, 2 cans of red beans, 5 oz. diced cooked ham, ¼ teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons Creole seasoning, ¾ teaspoon hot sauce, and 1 cup water. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. While the red bean sauce is cooking, prepare your white rice. When ready to serve, arrange 2 cups of hot white rice on a large serving dish. Spoon bean mixture over the top, and serve immediately. If you like red beans and rice, this is a very flavorful version that you are sure to enjoy!

American food preferences?
Which American cuisine do you like the best? Here are the options:
~ New England (clam chowder, boiled dinners, baked beans, lobster, maple syrup, etc.)
~ New York Deli style (mostly German/Jewish cuisine)
~ Pennsylvania Amish (doughnuts, egg noodles, etc.)
~ Southern (Chesapeake seafood, BBQ, Smithfield ham, Low Country, Cajun/Creole, Appalachian, cornbread, biscuits, grits, blackberry cobbler, etc.)
~ Southwestern (AKA Tex-Mex)
~ Midwestern (basic meat and potatoes type dishes, Chicago deep dish pizza, Pierogies, etc.)
This is done out of boredom, just curious.
Southern all the way! I love me some BBQ sauce! And potoatoes. And cornbread. And biscuits. And steak. And butter. And corn. And blackberry stuff. And cotton. And grits.
Gumbo Party!?
My husband and I are having some freinds over for dinner, and in traditional southern fashion, I am going to make a big pot of gumbo. I need some ideas for an appetizer to serve beforehand. I would like it to compliment the gumbo (chicken and andouille sausage), so bring on your cajun and creole recipes. I would like to avoid anything with alcohol or seafood, as I am pregnant and my buddies and my husband are not big seafood people (I know, it’s crazy…). Thanks in advance!
I’m not invited ????

This is an great summer salad, you can make it spicy if you like, but i suggest you use mild cajun spices. With some dark bread this goes great with an barbeque! Hope you like it !
