Red Beans and Rice with SPAM® image

This is a recipe that my mom made for us while growing up. We live in Minnesota, where SPAM originated, and my father is Puerto Rican; this was an ingenious way for my mother to weave the cultures together. This is a quick and tasty meal, enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups uncooked white rice
