Hello again fellow foodies and food lovers, hope your all rested up from our adventures yesterday. However on the off chance your like me not wanting to slave in the chicken all day, in order to get a great tasty meal that is satisfying and healthy. Fear not i have a trick up my sleeve. What you mite ask? My trusty friend the slow cooker, lends a hand and does most of all the work for us. Allowing us to sit back and relax.
Slow cooker Red Beans and Rice
3 cups water
1 cup dried kidney beans
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
3/4 cup chopped celery
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 package (14oz) smoked sausage
1 bay leaf
5 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups hot cooked long grain rice
1/4 cup green onions
Combine first 12 ingredients in an electric slow cooker. Cover with lid; cook on HIGH 5 hours. Discard bay leaf; stir in salt. Serve over rice; sprinkle with green onions.
(Note) do not add salt until the end, it will keep the beans from absorbing water and cooking.
There you go fellow foodies and food lovers the menu/ game plan. Pictures and review to come in another post later tonight. Remember play with your food have fun.
