In the New Orleans area, Red Beans and Rice is a tradition on Mondays. In times past, leftover meats from Sunday became part of the recipe for Red Beans and Rice. Since there are no leftovers in my house, I have come to rely on Andouille sausage and ham chunks for the meat ingredients. I take short cuts because traditional southern recipes can be an all day long affair for which I do not have time.
