OK, I did it!

I finally added some rice to my red beans. Plus, I kinda changed my
beans recipe. Started to make nb's minestrone, then changed my mind.

So, while the beans are most like "red beans" they have a beef broth
(BtB) base, like the minestrone. Not bad. I may keep it.

OTOH, the rice literally disappears in the mix. Kinda like Popeye's
RB&R, which I like. Trouble is, I've found the extra starches are
starting to let me gain weight.

Don't eat the entire pot in one sitting!

I like red beans & rice but also black beans & rice (same seasonings,
loosely based on Paul Prudhomme's). I plan to make that again soon as I
have some andouille sausage in the freezer. I like to make cornsticks
or cornbread to go with it. A pot of red beans & rice or black beans &
rice lasts several days here. It also freezes well, as does the
cornbread or cornsticks.

Those meals would last me several years until I finally tossed
them. lol

He doesn't like it so that's a reason to scoff.

Not that I'd make red beans and rice, but they'd last me about 30 seconds
before I threw them out. I don't know why Gary is so patient.

I'm just not a fan of beans. Nothing wrong with liking them, and I often
wish I did.

Actually Gary has to reply to every thread even if negative while
adding nothing... he's competing with JB. If he doesn't like rice
and beans why does he prepare them, only to trash them?
We like rice and beans but I prepare them like a pilaf, with diced
veggies (celery, bell pepper, garlic, parsley, even corn niblets and
diced tomatoes, sometines with ground beef) and well seasoned. I
prepare a 6 qt potful as it freezes well.... makes a good side for
pork chops, chicken breasts, etc. My wife grew up with rice and
beans, was on the table most every day.... she prefers hers with
seafood but I don't do seafood at home and my wife agrees, she doesn't
like her clothing to smell of fish either,

Just different tastes, that's all. I consider that last ditch
something to eat and not anything to look forward to. Adding that
sausage doesn't help either, imo.

Don't be offended by my comment. We can't all love McDonald's
plain hamburgers either.
