Red Beans and Rice Like Popeye's

Very quick and easy recipe! I threw all the ingredients in my crock pot,using a red onion (no yellow ones on hand). My husband had 2 helpings...we both liked this meal and will add to our 'favorites'. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent recipe! I used a mixture of canned beans I had on hand. Threw in an 14 oz. can of tomato sauce with meatloaf spices and a can of original rotel tomatoes and subbed the sausage with some boneless thick pork chops left over from another night. I added the chunked pork chop meat 2 hours before it was done. I guess with the changes I made it is not a clone of Popeyes red beans and rice but it was none the less very tasty! Thanks so much :)

We loved it. It was close to Popeye's, but not exact. I had no prob. w/ drying out. If it looks low on moisture just add water. It tasted even better after sitting overnight!

Tastes good, but doesn't taste anything like Popeye's. If you really want to simulate Popeye's, the canned version (Blue Runner Cajun Cream Style Red Beans) is available in many grocery stores and at World Market, and tastes very close, creamy just like Popeye's.

Excellent! We LOVE this! Better than Popeyes. We make ours on the stovetop and have never had any issues with drying out. Make a batch & freeze, thaw, heat & serve over fresh rice. I wouldn't serve the whole recipe to 4 people (1100 calories!!) I would serve 1/4 of the recipe to 4 people. We mix each serving (1/4 of the serving size this recipe indicates) with 1 serving of rice. This whole recipe, combined with 16 servings (usually 2 boxes) of rice would serve 16, or 8 very heartily.

I am a Popeye's fanatic, so I was excited to find this recipe. However, I was majorly disappointed with the results. The beans were completely dried out, and the bland flavor was nothing like Popeye's red beans and rice.

This tasted quite nice made as directed, but was amazingly dry, particularly compared to Popeye's. Toward the end I added about 1/8 cup of water which really didn't do anything. Perhaps leaving some of the bean liquid in would have helped. I'm not sure what I did wrong, if anything. I think I'd like to experiment with it somehow because we really liked the flavors. Thank you for posting, mandabears!

My grandson LOVES Popeye's red beans and rice. He and I both agree, if you didn't know it was homemade, you would swear you bought it at Popeye's. Very creamy and nicely spiced. Thanks for posting.

We've never had the restaurant version, but we love this recipe anyhow! We enjoy a variation of butterball smoked turkey sausage for a less greasy finish. All other ingredients we did the same. The kids love this dish too. Thanks mandabears for this new family favorite!

Its on the money. I love popeyes red beans and rice and I dont think you can get much closer to it that this recipe. It may be possible but this is right up there with the original. Excellent Job with this recipe and thank you very much for it.

A great crockpot recipe. I used pinto beans and only one tablespoon of liquid smoke. I've never had Popeye's, but this was good.

I have never had Popeye's red beans & rice, so I'm not sure if this is close. I did enjoy this - the flavors were good. The texture of the sausage suffered a bit, but that might have been the type of sausage I used (Bar S smoked sausage "weiners"). No stars, because the beans dried out quite a bit - I have an extremely large crock pot, and the quantity in this recipe was apparently not enough for good results, but that is certainly not the recipe's fault. We used brown rice, which went well with this.

By golly you've done it! I too have spent years trying to duplicate Popeye's beans. When I got the idea of looking on the net most recipes were something I'd already tried. This one sounded like MAYBE so I tried it.THANK YOU
