Zatarain's No Artificial Flavors Red Beans & Rice Dinner Mix, 8.0 oz Box

This was super easy to make and tasted great! You barely have to add anything for both ingredients and spices. I seasoned my meat at the start of cooking and that was all I needed. I used plain ground pork for the meat, so im sure if you use sausage or leftover taco meat or something it would be even more flavorful! Im not sure how to describe the flavor, but it was kind of new to me and I really enjoyed it. The only thing you have to watch out for is the rice and beans sticking to the bottom of the pot in the last 5 minutes or so. By then most of the water will have been absorbed so you need to stir it frequently to prevent sticking. Even with my not-so-great pans, though, it didnt stick much with frequent stirring. Definitely looking forward to trying more Zatarain's in the future!

It was easy to make, and I think that any meat of your choice would be good with it. We used hamburger, and everybody loved it! I think it's a little bit spicier than other similar products, and we love spicy so that was a plus for us. I would definitely purchase this product and recommend it to others. Beans and rice together make a complete protein, so you could even eat this without adding meat to it, which would make it even quicker and easier to make. I'm thinking of trying that for a weekend lunch!
