Red Beans and Rice with SPAM®

Red Beans and Rice with SPAM®

This is a recipe that my mom made for us while growing up. We live in Minnesota, where SPAM originated, and my father is Puerto Rican; this was an ingenious way for my mother to weave the cultures together. This is a quick and tasty meal, enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 3 cups uncooked white rice
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 (12 ounce) can fully cooked luncheon meat (such as SPAM®), cubed

  • ¼ cup butter
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried onion flakes

Directions

Step 1
Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 2
Stir together the luncheon meat, kidney beans with liquid, butter, and onion flakes in a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Spoon the beans over the cooked rice to serve.
