Shames Popeye's Red Beans Rice


Made this last night and couldn't wait to login and share the love! After making this you may never drive for the fast food version again!!!! great served with greens. Can be cooked without sausage for a lighter fare, but expect to lose a little of the savory flavor.

Steps


Start rice in a rice cooker.
Saute onion and garlic in a pot in olive oil.
Add smoke and ground / diced meats , give a spin around the pot to release juices and add beans , spices and water.
Cover and cook on low 40 minutes when you next view their should be a broth in with the beans.
Turn off burner and get out a hand masher.
Mash the beans and meat mixture down and then grind the trapped beans around in a circle.
When 2 / 3 of the mix is smooth spoon over rice and serve.

Ingredients
