CHEF COMMENTS

What makes this recipe good is really the cream of mushroom soup. Though my husband hates mushrooms, he didn't have a clue that there were any in his red beans and rice because of how tasty it was. I used Amy's organic cream of mushroom soup, which can be found in the health food section of your grocery store. (But any brand will do.)

Seriously, this recipe evolved one night out of a lack of ingredients around the apartment, but we love it. A great deal of the appeal of this recipe is in how easy it is to prepare. Throw in rice, soup, pepper, and beans. No chopping or measuring. Easy enough for even a Georgia Tech student to prepare.
