| Claire's Southern Delight |
I'm indebted to our dear family friend, Claire, for this recipe. Claire truly has the gift of hospitality. She's an excellent cook - the kind of person who can cook for 40 people for a "little" lunch at her house after Church without thinking twice, or turn out a feast for 200 at the Church with an amount of expertise that makes it look as easy as cooking for six. It is truly a rare occasion that she serves a sit down dinner to her family without having at least one guest - whether that person is a long-time family friend, a new acquaintance, or a person in need. I stand in awe of her talent & her kindness! But, far more importantly, she has been a wonderful & faithful family friend for many years.
This is her recipe.
Claire’s Southern Delight
In a saucepan, add
2 Cans Light Red Kidney Beans, drained (Dark Red are also okay - or a mix of Light & Dark)
1 (8 oz) Can Tomato Sauce
Add Ample
Celery Salt
and
Onion powder
Add a Touch
Cayenne
Parsley
Garlic
Then add
1 ½ Tablespoon Vegan Bacon Flavored Bits*
¼ cup water
Simmer 20 minutes
Serve over Rice
*I find that it is easier to find Vegan Bacon Flavored Bits if I just look for the Kosher Certification.
After all, there's no such thing as Kosher Bacon.
I like to serve this with Better than Coleslaw & maybe some Corn Muffins.
Alternatively, I like to serve this as a wrap - the Beans, Rice, some Slaw and something sour - like Green Olives or Pickles - rolled in a Tortilla.

Tip for dining with Omnivores: A few slices of Kielbasa over the top would go well with this dish.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I really appreciate you hosting : )
DeleteI wonder how this would taste with Great Northern beans instead. They are the only ones my husband will eat. I like the tip with adding kielbasa!

If you try it with Great Northerns, I'd love to hear how it turns out! : ) Glad you like the Kielbasa tip - sometimes it is so much easier for a vegetarian to eat WITH the family if an easy adjustment can be made to accommodate everyone : )
DeleteBeans over rice is one of our go-to meals! Thank you for the alternative recipe! :) Also, thank you for sharing with us on the Art of Home-Making Mondays!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for visiting & hosting! : )
DeleteI love dishes that contain beans because they are so nutritious and affordable. We're not fans of kidney beans, but we do cook a lot with red beans (which are similar but have a milder flavor). This is one we'll have to try.
ReplyDeleteThat DOES sound good! I might just have to try making it that way myself : )
