easy red beans and rice
(2 ratings)
This is a recipe I tried and loved! Its from a foodie named Mrs Potatohead...cute name, right! Its so easy to make and very flavorful. Goes great with some good bread to soak up the juices! This is not a thick gravy, so you may want to add cornstarch, if you like it that way. I added my photo.
