I made it tonight and my family really liked it. To the person that posted what if you don't like red beans or what if you don't like rice, then don't make it!

what is with the weird reviews for this recipe? This is a good red beans and rice recipe. Has flavor, nice texture, easy to make. Is it like POpeye's? No clue - I dont' eat there. I'll definitely make this againthough.

I read some of the reviews and decided to add a little bit of bacon.Ialso fried the peppers and onions in bacon grease.It turned out amazing! Will ddefinitely mak it again.
Years ago when I was fulfilling my tour of duty I was stationed at Roosevelt Roads NAS. One of my favorite meals was rice and beans in the local bars. So, everyone thinks R&B is a Cajun Dish, I think its a Puerto Rican Dish. Am I wrong?
Many cultures have their own version of beans and rice. Red beans and rice is a Creole (not Cajun) dish. There are also similar varieties such as Cuban, Brazilian, and yes, Puerto Rican.
Yeah, first the kid wants to pick out the rice, then he wants to pick out the beans. After that, what would be left? An important element to Popeye's version is that the dish is creamy. So don't use those hard shell kidney beans. Cook 'em down plenty, or else mash some and return to pot and cook some more.
Popeye's Restaurants have one of the best Red bean and Rice receipes' I have ever tasted. Their Chicken is pretty good also, but I will go there anytime I feel like not making my own Red Beans. This receipe caught my attention but I don't see how it could duplicate the smokey slow cooked flavor of the original Popeye's.
Red Beans and rice is a true cajun dish and is made w/ pork to give it the flavor it has. and is simply marveluuuuuuuuuus.........this dish im not so sure about but the person dissin the beans and rice if you dont care for a food ... let it go not all food are for everyone geeesh
Uh, I don't see how people can review a dish without actually TRYING it. It looks pretty good to me.
Me again. Sorry, but I don't think people would like this. Because people might not like the rice, and will have to pick it out. Also, people (like me!) hate beans and might have to pick those out and get frusterated for picking them out all the time. But you know, this is just my opinion. Get other opinions to see if people around the world will like it!!!!
