Loved this recipe - easy and very good. I followed the recipe and added three ingredients: a a handful of chopped cilantro, b 3 diced small roma tomatoes, and c a pinch of red pepper flakes. I love cilantro in just about anything and it added a flavor background to the red bean mixture. I added the tomatoes for taste and texture and the red pepper for a hint of zing. As some others have done, I baked some cornbread to go along with the red beans/rice.
All in all a great dish - hats off to the Neelys!

This is one of my favorite comfort foods on cold, nasty days. It's great to serve with cornbread and a movie. Revy
