From idea to plate in under 30 minutes, this red beans and rice is an easy meal to throw together using blackened seasoning for depth of flavor. I remember my mom spending hours to make red beans and rice from scratch when I was a kid. We shortcut it here with canned beans! And in my opinion, it tastes just as good (sorry, mom).
