Easy Red Beans and Rice Recipe

Just add dehydrated vegetables to complete this easy Red Beans and Rice Recipe. I recommend Zatarain’s® reduced sodium variety. Even with the 25% sodium reduction, it’s still on the high side.

  • Listed Ingredients- Enriched long grain parboiled rice, cooked and dehydrated red beans, enriched wheat flour, malted barley flour, dehydrated vegetables (onion, bell pepper), salt, soy sauce, yeast extract, dextrose, soybean oil, thiamine hydrochloride, natural and artificial flavors, modified corn starch, potassium chloride, torula yeast, natural smoke flavor, garlic, caramel color, spices.
