Authentic Louisiana Red Beans and Rice image

Authentic Cajun flavor! I grew up eating and love red beans and rice, these are just like I remember. Serve with Tabasco sauce for a little kick. My family loved to splash a little cider vinegar in each bowl.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ham. I added some chopped ham to the beans and it gave the dish a delicious smoky flavor. ? ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this recipe without the sausage. It was still delicious! I added some extra vegetables, like carrots and celery, to make it even healthier. ? ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I was disappointed with this recipe. The beans were undercooked and the rice was overcooked. I also found the flavor to be bland. I won't be making this recipe again. ?

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I'll definitely make it again, but I'll use less cayenne pepper next time. ?️ ⭐⭐⭐

This recipe was a disaster. The beans never softened, even after cooking them for hours. The rice was also mushy and bland. I ended up throwing the whole thing away. ?
