Homemade, no cans in sight..lol. Zatarains is too salty for my preferences and this is cheaper also. Omit Worcestershire sauce for vegan.

How To Make annies red beans and rice (vegetarian)

Step 1

Sort and wash red beans.

Step 2

In a large stockpot, combine 1 quart water, 1 quart broth, and red beans. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes before removing from heat. Let the beans stand for 1 hour.
Step 3

After an hour, add garlic, onions, and bell pepper and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat. Simmer for 1 1/2 hours, or until beans are soft. Try not to stir more than necessary.
Step 4

Stir in seasonings and rice and simmer for 30 minutes longer, or until rice and beans are both cooked and all flavors are incorporated. The consistency should be like a thick gravy–you don’t want soup. If it’s too wet, just cook it down for a few more minutes. If it’s too dry, add more water and cook until it has thickened.
Step 5

You can also serve the rice on the side by cooking it separately from the beans.
