Bridget used to be known for her homemade red beans and rice.
This is New Orleans, and every Monday we citizens clamor for a nice steamy bowl of the good stuff.
Today’s not Monday, but we were really craving red beans, so here we are.
About a year ago we discovered Blue Runner Red Beans. Sorry Bridget, you just got served.
Yes, these beans are in a can, but after a little Blake Magic, they certainly don’t taste like they do.
I cube some turkey sausage and brown it in my enamel stock pot. When it’s browned, remove it from the pan.
Chop an onion and 2 stalks of celery and cook it in the pot with the sausage bits in the bottom. When the onions are see-through, add 1/2 cup hot chicken stock, scrape the bottom and reduce for a few minutes.
Add 2 large cans of the canned red beans. I season them with Kosher salt and some Tony’s.
Serve over rice.
It may be a carnal sin to enjoy canned beans as much as homemade, but believe me, you’ll never know the difference.

blakemakes saysThe turkey sausage was spicy, and the Tony's is a creole seasoning we use a lot down south. It had some nice heat, but you must have a pepper belly like my wife. I think she added a few dashes of Louisiana hot sauce to hers. Thanks for the comment! bk

YUM, this looks amazingly good. For me, I would add chili peppers to spice it up~
