carlfense Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 This is the Betty Crocker version . . . which isn't the traditional style. It makes for a good, filling, meal. Ingredients: 1 (15 oz) can Red Kidney Beans, drain and keep liquid separate. Water (add to bean liquid until you have 2 cups total) 3-4 slices of bacon chopped into small pieces (or salt pork) 1 medium green pepper, chopped. 1 medium onion, chopped. 1 cup uncooked white rice 1 teaspoon salt. Directions: 1. In 10 inch skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Stir in bell pepper and onion and cook until onion is tender. 2. Add bean liquid and water, bacon, pepper, onion, rice, beans, and salt in 3 quart pan. Heat to boiling, stirring once or twice. Reduce heat. Cover. Simmer 14 minutes without lifting cover. Remove from heat. Fluff with fork. Cover. Let steam 5-10 minutes away from heat. 1 Quote Link to comment
Hingle McCringleberry Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I think I spotted an error in this. It should say 6-8 pieces of bacon. The first 3-4 will find there way into a sandwich of some sort... 1 Quote Link to comment

It's kind of like when a recipe calls for 1/2 of a beer. 1 Quote Link to comment

carlfense Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 They better be as good as Popeyes! It's interesting that you bring that up because I had Popeye's red beans and rice for the first time last week. The Popeye's version is smokier and spicier. They're both good . . . but different. Popeye's is amazing. Quote Link to comment
