RE: "Charleston Red Beans and Rice"

Sounds yummy, Liz! I LOVE rice/protein entrees like red beans/rice w/ andoullie sausage, jambalaya, paella and Spanish rice (I normally put ground beef and/or pork in my Spanish Rice). Growing up, in grade school, our cooks made a dish called "Texas Hash" that most kids hated- but that I loved. It was similar to my Spanish Rice- it was rice, tomatoes/onions/green bell peppers, ground beef, tomatos/tomato sauce and seasonings. I could eat it non-stop!
