Red beans and rice is an iconic Louisiana Creole dish. Traditionally, the beans are made with smoked meat, such as andouille sausage or smoked ham hocks. This vegetarian version subs in smoked paprika to infuse the beans with the deep classic flavor. Let them simmer away on Sunday and they will be ready to eat all week. Serve with rice to keep it classic, but don’t forget to count the SmartPoints.®
