Editors Review
Though this video on Southern Red Beans and Rice, Scott wants to show us how to prepare good quality meals for ourselves, our family and friends. The dish is as simple as it sounds and its delicious. Definitely this is a must try recipe when you have guests at home and you have no time to cook. Just pop it all in the dish, check it occasionally and its ready to serve. The meshed bean cooked slowly for a couple of hours brings together a nice creamy textured beans dish that's delicious over freshly cooked riChef
