What Did You Have for Dinner?

I put on a pot of red beans before I went outside to work in the yard this afternoon. It's one easy dish to fix and it needs to be slow cooked. I did not put them in the slow cooker as I didn't have that much time to wait for them to cook before dinner. Red beans and rice with some sliced sausage tossed in is a dish my family has served since I was a little girl. My grandmother used to always have a pot of red beans on the stove and you could count on eating them along with pork chops, chicken, or some other dish whenever you went to visit. I don't serve mine like the photo above (image from Pixabay), my beans are cooked in a creamy gray and served over rice. I like mine juicy and my hubby likes his thick with lots of rice. We grew up eating different versions of red beans and rice. I always add sausage or baked ham cubed and tossed in. It makes for a full meal that way. What did you have for dinner tonight?
