Growing up in New Jersey I never had Red Beans and Rice until I moved to Texas.\u00a0 \u00a0I never knew what I was missing out on!<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Red Beans and Rice is a delicious Cajun staple.\u00a0 It can be made in an instant pot but I find the best results still come from the old-fashioned way.\u00a0 There are numerous variations on how to best prepare it, including which ingredients to use, etc.\u00a0 I encourage you to experiment with different ingredients and options to find what you like best.\u00a0 Personally, I’ve made this recipe with a roux base, and without it.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t think the difference in the end result warranted the time it took to make a proper roux.\u00a0 If you absolutely want to make this using a roux you certainly can!<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
For me the most important things in this recipe are the proteins.\u00a0 \u00a0Specifically the\u00a0<\/span>Andouille<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>sausage and the\u00a0<\/span>Tasso<\/a>.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
We buy our andouille and tasso from Hebert\u2019s meats locally.\u00a0 Both are packed with flavor that really comes through in the dish.\u00a0 You can find andouille sausage in stores in the north east but they are bland and nothing like what you can get in Texas and Louisiana.\u00a0 If you can\u2019t find tasso you can use extra thick bacon or smoked ham.<\/span><\/div>\n
