#cajunredbeans

This recipe is another one of my favorite comfort foods. It is so hearty and a true down-home food of love type thing. Here is my way of making a new Louisiana-style red bean and rice at home. Red beans and rice is a Monday supper tradition across Louisiana creole and cajun country. Every Monday I cook this meal and this meal is my traditional household. Definitely, this is my favorite meal. It is the very definition of comfort food. 

Also, it's a nice easy meal now a lot of people get scared over red beans and rice because it is such a staple here in New Orleans but it's really an easy dish. I think that's the thing I feel like when you rush something like this that's when your beans maybe come out hard. I really like letting my beans simmer with the andouille sausage (instead of adding it in at the very end) so that it soaks up all the smoky flavors.
