    1/25/21: This recipe is still in rotation at our house. Tonight used a can of Blue Runner red beans with a Creole cream base and a can of kidney beans. I think that's the best version I've ever made. Original review from 2010: This really is easy enough for a weeknight! I whipped it up one night after work, and it was tasty, delicious, and quick. I left out the bay leaf because I didn't have one, and added a can of Rotel tomatoes for a little extra spice. We'll definitely be making this again!
