Red Beans and Rice with SPAM® image

This is a recipe that my mom made for us while growing up. We live in Minnesota, where SPAM originated, and my father is Puerto Rican; this was an ingenious way for my mother to weave the cultures together. This is a quick and tasty meal, enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups uncooked white rice
3 cups water
1 (12 ounce) can fully cooked luncheon meat (such as SPAM®), cubed
3 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans, with liquid
¼ cup butter
⅛ teaspoon dried onion flakes

Steps:

  • Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
