Recipes Main Dishes Rice Beans and Rice Recipes Easy Red Beans and Rice 4.4 (556) 426 Reviews 11 Photos This is an easy red beans and rice recipe that is a delicious take on a Louisiana classic. It can be prepared and cooked in 40 minutes! I use turkey kielbasa to cut down on the fat, but not the flavor. Season with hot pepper sauce if you like.
