So today was one of those VERY busy days! When this happens I prefer to have a meal waiting for us around 6:00pm. This is one of my favorite recipes and the kids like it too, hubby eats anything I put on the table but Spaghetti Squash!
Red Beans and Rice with a veggie tray or a very unofficial handful of raw veggies for each person.
1 pkg Dry Red Beans rinsed (NOT kidney beans)
4 C. water
1 whole red onion diced
3 cloves of fresh garlic
3 t. dried cilantro or a sprig of fresh
2 t. garlic powder
1 T. coconut amino
Salt & Pepper to taste
1-3 t. Old Bay Seasoning (more or less to make it spicy)
optional: Spicy sausage cut up into 1 inch bites
Mix ALL in crockpot and cook for 8 hours on LOW or 4 hours on High. Adjust the water to your liking, use more for juicier beans and less for thicker beans. We like juice so we can put it over rice.
White Rice - If you will be out all day, put in a the rice cooker and set the delay timer so it's done when you want to serve dinner.
When you get home get out the fresh colorful veggies (Carrots, Sugar Snap peas, Cherry tomatoes, & Celery). Serve with Red Beans & Rice, Super Easy!
