Red Beans And Rice

I love Beans of all kinds and I will cook them up in a tinkle of an eye. One thing you much know you got to cook beans in smoke meat so they can get that flavor.

It don't have to be pork you can cook them in smoke turkey tails,"yes sir"

I like to put a biscuit on top of the rice...And pour the beans on top...Try that treat.
