How to Make Mike's Great Red Beans And Rice
- Brown 1 lb ground beef and 1 medium onion (chopped) in a large pot over medium-high heat until the beef is no longer pink.
- Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth.
- Stir in 2 (15-ounce) cans of red kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 1 lb smoked kielbasa (sliced), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning, and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste).
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the beans simmer, cook 1 cup of long-grain white rice according to package directions.
- Once the rice is cooked, stir it into the pot with the beans.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the pot, stirring constantly, to thicken the sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
- Serve hot and enjoy! Garnish with chopped green onions (optional).
