I decided to make red beans and rice Saturday and used those Blue Runner Cream style beans AND the Conecuh sausage. Changed it up abit though. I used 2 cans of the Blue Runners with 2 cans of whole red beans, then added a half can of green chilis, a couple bay leaves, onion, red pepper flakes and a couple dashes of hot cause. Then let it simmer for bout 45 minutes. Turned out dang fine buddie. Those cream style beans saved me bout 2 hours of cooking
That sounds really good....
it was and alot easier than starting from dried beans. had it all ready in an hour.
Those Blue Runners are great
That's the way I do it now. I used to believe incooking my red beans from dried, but the Blue Runners are just as good. Add a can or two of red/black beans and some sausage ( I use Conecuh also) and some cruchy french bread, and you have a fine meal in no time. I did a big pot of em yesterday, myself.
Dondon, salt, black pepper, or bell pepper? Do you have to watch sticking?
Salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes. I don;t like bell pepper in mine. Just me.
I worked in and out of New Orleans for 30 yrs on the railroad. The local folks down there swear by the Blue Runner beans. I used to bring them back with me from down there until a few places up here started stocking them.
I love that Cajun/Creole food from down there, but sometimes the authentic stuff is hard to find......
If you like that stuff.....Cajun Food | Turducken | New Orleans Food | Live Crawfish | Boudin and more ....
Top that off with some jalapeno cornbread and use cream styled corn for the liquid
