I followed this recipe closely and found it lacked the flavor I love with red beans and rice. It was also a little runny. I wouldn't make this again.

Of all bean recipes I've seen, none mentions tomato sauce:
try this
1 can dark red or pink beans
3 slice bacon (chopped
1/2 med. onion (chopped
1 bay leaf
garlic, salt, black pepper (to taste
1 can tomato sauce
Cook bacon, add onions, bay leaf. cook til onions are tender, add tomato sauce, beans and other dry ingrediance, continue to cook for about 15 minutes.Serve over white long grain rice yummy!!!
