This is fantastic.....I lived in Texas for 26 years....now I am in New England and would love to share this southern culinary treasure with my co- workers...My thanks to you for your skill, dedication and talent.

Nice to see someone cooking great food in a real kitchen with normal appliances and tools. Can't wait to watch more!

OMG! My whole family loved these. Thank you so much for making these and making it so easy.

Scott, I really enjoyed this recipe. I fixed it a few weeks ago for some friends and they loved it. Dude, you really need your own show on FooD Network, you do a much better job than most. What I like about you is you cook dishes that everyone enjoys and most have the ingredients in their pantry or frig. Please keep posting videos, I really enjoy them. John from east Tennessee

i think your red beans and rice were the best ,i will make it tomorrow

Looks good.

beans are wonderful i make them on numerous occassions

let me just say your house looks fantastically organized, from your cutlery to your utensils , your recipes are easy to learn (thank you for sharing them with the world), and i'm not homosexual but you have a great fashion sense for a man. keep these awesome videos coming Scott !

I tried this one, believe me folks that's some good eating! Nothing better than homemade food!

Thanks!!!!

Red beans and rice is like one of the most perfectly-contrived dishes ever made by human hands. If that was all there was to eat in the world, I'd die a happy man!!!

Scott, I am so glad I found you on KZread. All your recipes look so very good!!!!!!!! I am a louisiana girl and I love red beans and rice. I also heard you mention Graysons BarbQ on one of your other videos. I have been there and they do have awesome food! Anyway, thanks so much for sharing your great cooking knowledge with all of us!!

pork fat is amazing! i love red beans and rice, in fact i made some for lunch. great recipe!

I love that market. You need some plain ole cornbread with that, big Daddy.

Thanks. That was good. I am a Muslim living in Sweden and will simply find alternatives to any pork ingredient you used in your recipe...

dag scooter, u make me hungry. i must try this recipe real soon. it will be my second recipe from u [ i made your peach cobbler, it was awesome]... u gonna make me end up at jenny craig. thanx for posting!

Nice process, I like how you saute the beans up front and get them mashed, adds so much texture and another layer of flavor. I also like to add an inexpensive smoked ham hock to the pot while it's simmering with the chicken stock. When it's reduced, remove the hock and shred the meat, add that back to the mix. Gives the dish an incredible soul-food/cajun inflection that most people can't put their finger on.

this guy is good :)))

This is exactly how I was taught to make this when I lived in Louisiana. Including the bacon fat!

i make this a lot the only difference i use dry beans takes more time but i think it makes a world of difference

@therandallknight - long grain white rice

any recipe that starts with bacon fat is good in my book. thanks for posting.

Yes, the first half of the beans you smash before adding the other ingredients. It makes it cream and delicious.

Hello and thanks for the video. I'm late to the party here but would you consider starting out with dried beans instead of the canned? Do you think it would make a difference? Thanks!

Your videos are awesome :D Do you think I could use pintos instead of kidney in this dish? Also did you take the bay leaves out after? I didnt see ?

Scott, just wanna say huge fan. Thanks for uploading this recipe. I always wanted to try to make this recipe but I was a bit skeptic because I watched other videos before yours and people made it look like a science project. Your was the easiest and tastiest. Made for the holidays recently and it was delicious. I want ask you is it possible to skip the saute of the onions and celery and just cook them in w/ the sausage?

Hey Scott, just want to say I love this recipe. Thanks a bunch for putting this up. I'm a huge fan. I first made this for as a Thanksgiving dish and my mother and I loved it. I have a question for you. Instead of sauteing the onions and celery in butter, could I just cook it in with the Sausage as a shortcut?

I have lived in the South all my life and red beans and rice are a traditional Monday dinner. I actually laughed when I saw you use canned beans for a "traditional Southern Way". The true traditional Southern way to cook red beans and rice is to use Camilla dry beans out of a bag. From the other comments posted, I guess the recipe was good. Either way, it was a good video.

if you do not have bacon fat, add a ham hock (this is a regional ingredient used instead of bacon fat) or two during the 2 hour simmer stage. It will add a richness to your beans and a lot of extra flavor.

I was about to wash my car..... naah! I'll try this classic recipe instead :-D

what brand of kidney beans did you use??

wow, no more cooking kidney beans all day, Look Fantastic!

Scooter, why dont you use pickled meat? or cajun sausage like savoie? the pork breakfast sausage is alright. Those make it much better

It would taste good with butter. But, it tastes great with bacon fat.

how about macaroni salad

Well, beans, bacon fat and tobasco sauce will surely give me gas to knock out a cow, but that sure looks like it tastes great.

What, no cornbread (no sugar, of course)? Tsk, tsk.
