I LOVE Red Beans & Rice and eat it at least every other week. This week I made a huge batch and wanted to give the leftovers a makeover….usually I just eat another bowl, but I decided to try a little fusion and Yum was my reaction. Next time you have leftover red beans and rice (Amy) give this one a try.
