Spicy Red Beans and Rice image

These beans smell so good when they are cooking and the results are a tasty, New Orleans style red beans and rice. I have tried several recipes but this one is easier than the others I've tried with an excellent result. Serve with cornbread or corn muffins and your meal is complete. Recipe is from Taste of Home magazine.

I'm not a fan of spicy food, but I thought this recipe was still really good. The beans were tender and the sauce was flavorful, even without the cayenne pepper.

This recipe was a disaster. The beans were hard and the sauce was watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The beans were a little too soft for my taste and the sauce was a little bland. I think I would try a different recipe next time.
