can anyone help with the best red beans and rice recipe please?

This one does it for me...real Louisiana style down-home cooking (5-star recipe) and it's easy, as well. The only issue is it takes about 3 hours' cooking time.

Try patbap (Korean red beans and rice) Its really very simple and versatile healthy dish. Just wash 1 cup rice with about 3 tablespoon of red beans, and water to cook it. *

User Ground Beef, add can of tomato soup--almost like a chili recipe but heartier:

1 lb. ground beef

diced onion

shortening or oil

16 oz. can of red pijnto beans and rice

8 oz can of peas

1/2 lb. shells

Saute onion in shortening, add meat and let it brown. When meat is browned, add can of tomato soup and 1/2 can water. Let cook until soup is absorbed (about 1/2 hour). When meat and soup are bubbly, add cooked shells and peas and cook for about 15 minutes more. (can put in oven at this point, if desired until shells & peas are heated). Enjoy.
