Thanks Steve. I didn't have any celery or bell pepper, so I didn't
use them. However, I used plenty of onion. I've been trying to
figure out what the finished product is supposed to look like.
Recipes seem to vary with the cook. I found a blog where it showed
"real" red beans & rice and the beans were the way *I* like them with
rice... totally disintegrated - one thick mess of bean "gravy". I
would have liked more *thick* liquid too, however this stuff was on
the stove for 4-5 hours and that was as mushy as they got. They were
technically cooked and we were hungry, so we ate.

IMO, red beans and rice is okay... but I like other beans better with
rice. Not sure if I'll do it again.

Thanks for the feedback!
