Authentic Louisiana Red Beans and Rice image

Authentic Cajun flavor! I grew up in Louisiana and love red beans and rice; these are just like I remember. Serve with Tabasco sauce for a little kick. My family loved to splash a little cider vinegar in each bowl.

One of our family's all-time favorites. Make it as spicy or mild as you please. It is hearty on a cold winter's night. If you are cooking for a crowd, this recipe can easily be doubled. Be sure to serve this with cornbread!

CAJUN DIRTY RICE & RED BEAN PIES

Cajun Dirty Rice & Red Bean Pies image

I used to make with chicken gizzards but now it is ground chicken and toned down quite a bit. Kids like refried beans. You can add veges you like and eliminate the ones you don't like. This can be made ahead and frozen. Any type smoked sausage can be used.
