Shames Popeye's Red Beans & Rice

"Made this last night and couldn't wait to login and share the love! After making this you may never drive for the fast food version again!!!! Great served with greens. Can be cooked without sausage for a lighter fare, but expect to lose a little of the savory flavor."

  1. Yum! I had to make this without liquid smoke or sausages (sorry!), and the flavor still earned five stars from me. I'd attribute it to the combination and proportion of the spices, which were spot on. The mashing of the beans (a step I'd ordinarily skip) seems to be essential to spreading the flavor throughout the dish and was well worth it.
