One of my favorite easy go to meals is Cajun red beans and rice. I, for countless years, have used Knorr brand packaged red beans and rice for my starter. A buck a package is hard to beat. I slice up a beef sausage log and brown it then add the water for the rice mixture, cook as per instructions and then add additional Cajun spice and slices of Velveeta cheese. It's easy, it's cheap, cooks in one pot, and it is very good. Much to my dismay, Knorr ceased selling the rice and bean starter. Forced to come up with a new plan, I bought Knorr brand chicken seasoned rice. I did my sausage trick and then added a can of red kidney beans and the water for the rice mixture and boiled for ten minutes to complete the cooking of the beans. I then added the rice mixture and my own Cajun spices and viola! It's not the same but close enough. It took an additional ten minutes to cook but still was a one pot tasty meal.
Tonight I'm grilling burgers served on butter toasted buns and french fries.
I had some fresh caught cod I had planned to cook but was way out of the mood by the time I needed to cook. I order pizza.
