In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a zesty dish from the Deep South, Cajun Red Beans and Rice. This recipe makes a large amount, and it can be used as the main course of a meal. It is composed of a sauce made from red beans, vegetables, and spices, and it is served over a hot bed of white rice. Add a wedge of hot, tasty cornbread, and it tastes wonderful!

Ingredients:

(2) 15.5 oz. cans red beans, undrained (You may use pinto beans, kidney beans, chili beans—but no beans that have been already flavored with spices.)
½ stick butter or margarine, melted
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped onion
½ cup sliced green onion
½ cup chopped green bell pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
5 oz. diced cooked ham (I used Hormels canned smoked ham, but you may use leftover ham chunks.)
¼ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons Creole seasoning
¾ teaspoon hot sauce (Tabasco or any type of hot pepper sauce may be used.)
1 cup water
2 cups hot, cooked white long grain rice

Saute 1 cup chopped celery, 1 cup chopped onion, ½ cup sliced green onion, and ½ cup chopped green pepper in ½ stick melted butter or margarine until tender. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic, 2 cans of red beans, 5 oz. diced cooked ham, ¼ teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons Creole seasoning, ¾ teaspoon hot sauce, and 1 cup water. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. While the red bean sauce is cooking, prepare your white rice. When ready to serve, arrange 2 cups of hot white rice on a large serving dish. Spoon bean mixture over the top, and serve immediately. If you like red beans and rice, this is a very flavorful version that you are sure to enjoy!

I wonder who the lucky people are who get to have Thanksgiving at Bettys? I have to go to my sisters, who is a good person but she is no kind of cook.

I have already had my big get-together with all my siblings and family members (this past Sunday). On Thanksgiving Day, it will just be my close family--Rick, Chris & Chelsea & Carter. I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving Day at your sister's!

I made this recipe tonight for my family, it was really tasty. I'm from NZ so used red kidney beans and cajun seasoning because creole seasoning and red beans are not available. I used a package of smoked sandwich ham and cut it into squares before adding to the bean mixture. Thanks for the recipe Betty, I have wanted to try red beans and rice for ages and this was so easy to make.
