To make this dish, you’ll need:

Red

bean ingredients

.

Once the beans and other vegetables are tender, stir the red beans to combine all the flavors. I have to say that the aroma coming from the slow cooker is out of this world!

• Cook the rice. As the kidney beans are running out, cook your favorite rice according to package directions.
