Red Beans and Rice
 
  Adapted from More Than Gourmet

Yummy, Yummy, it doesn’t get much better than this. Red beans and rice is as good vegetarian style as it is with sausage or chicken, or combined although my favorite is sausage, chicken and shrimp. I love the combination of flavors. This is another great way to use up leftover chicken.
