I have been eating small red beans with rice since forever. They are delicious and fulfilling. Small red beans and rice are a brilliant combination. You can have it for lunch and enjoy your day.
To make small red beans with rice, cook the rice in a rice cooker. Then, heat a Dutch oven and add water, salt, and beans to it. Bring it to a boil. Then, add garlic, onion, andouille sausages, and bacon. Cook it on low flame for about an hour and a half. Serve the red beans with the cooked rice.
