i made a huge batch of my dad’s red beans and it is SO GOOD. i froze a bunch of it so i have just been defrosting and eating it with rice. it is so easy to make and like home in a bowl
My mom got this from one of her friends and I’ve adopted it as my comfort meal for rainy days, it’s literally 4 cans and some broth - 1 can of canned chicken
- 1 can of rotel tomatoes (I typically do original)
- 1 can of ranch style pinto beans (black label with white writing, can be hard to miss)
- 1 can of cream of chicken soup
- ~3/4 of a container of chicken broth Heat over medium high heat until warm and combined, stir occasionally. Serve with sour cream, shredded cheese, and top with tortilla chips!
(I usually get generic brand for all ingredients except the beans and tomatoes.)
My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
