      Title: Red Beans and Rice, By Michael Loo
 Categories: Loo, Cajun, Bacon, Rice, Sausage
      Yield: 4 Servings

  1 1/2 c  Rice
      3 oz Bacon, diced
      1 oz Onion, minced
     20 oz Can red kidney beans,
           Drained, rinsed
    1/4 ts Garlic powder
    1/2 ts Thyme powder
    1/4 ts Tabasco sauce or to taste
    1/4 ts Worcestershire (optional)
           Salt, pepper,
           Cayenne to taste
    1/2 lb Smoked sausage

  Cook rice in the normal way.

  Fry bacon in its own fat over low heat. As the bacon bits are done,
  remove them with a slotted spoon. When all bits are removed, wilt
  onion in the remaining fat. Add beans and flavorings. Let cook over
  lowest heat for 1/2 hour. Add sausage: either submerge the whole piece
  in the beans or chop the meat into bite-size pieces and stir in. Cook
  for another 1/2 hour, making sure that the beans don't scorch on the
  bottom. Add a little water if necessary. Correct seasoning. May be
  thickened with a little roux if necessary.

  Serve beans over rice.
