Instant Pot Red Beans & Rice
"It's hard to believe I've been creating recipes for over six years. It's even harder to believe that within that time I never had a Red Beans & Rice recipe...until now! Yes, a yankee making a Southern staple but not to worry. Just like my Gumbo and Chicken & Dumplings, you're in good hands. Plus, my partner, Richard, heartily approved this super simple, lightning quick and flavor-packed hearty dish that's great as a side or a main!..."
