There are definitely occasions that call for the most expensive and fancy foods, but in day to day life it's nice to have beans and rice sometimes. I’m pretty sure that basically every culture has some form or other of this staple meal because, let’s face it, it’s cheap.
I don’t know about you but I happen to love beans and rice. When I was little my dad used to make the Zatarain’s Cajun box mixes all the time so those flavors are really nostalgic and warm fuzzy for me and now it’s probably my favorite way to eat beans and rice.
The way I see it, if you can master the art of making beans and rice taste amazing with minimal ingredients then your pretty much set for life in the cooking department. I know I added the chorizo to mine, because the truth is that it adds so much more flavor that way, but you could totally go meatless with this recipe and it would still be amazing. It’s all in the spices here.
This is a great meal to make for a big group or just a budget friendly weeknight dinner that makes great leftovers. In fact it gets better leftover. Make a big huge pot of it and freeze the extra for later or invite some friends over and show off your mad skills with making simple ingredients into a from-scratch meal with unrivaled flavor.
Thanks for reading Steemians. Have a great week!
As always, the recipe is available upon request. The first request gets an upvote.

Well, the spice will depend a lot on how spicy your sausage is so I'd suggest using a mild type. Thanks for reading @jjsolley.

Great food pictures. It's making me very hungry right now. I think what I like most about your cajun black bean and chorizon dirty rice is that it doesn't seem to be that dry. Usually, most variations of it that I have seen and tasted tend to be somewhat dry. Your version seems to almost have a risotto like level of moisture. :)

Thanks @rockjon, nad this is a very soft and fluffy way to make it as it calls for plenty of broth as you make it.

Hey Gringalicious - This was a very, very cool post...the food looks delicious. I am TOTALLY with you when you say there are occasions that call for a fancy expensive meal but then there are times that you just want to make nice, home cooked, comfort food. There's nothing that I enjoy more than hot dogs and mac & cheese...gets me every time.
My only question to you is: Why take so many pictures, you're food is going to get cold ?!
jk jk - Keep the great posts coming!!
PS - I am leaving right now with my girlfriend to go get eat out at a fancy, expensive restaurant...it's one of those occasions that you spoke about, lol :).
Thanks again!

I learned to cook in Louisana about 30 years ago. I like your recipe and the thought of using chorizo instead of Andouille for a change.
Your recipe for Cajun seasoning looks ok except You forgot the cayenne pepper. All cajun seasoning has some cayenne, some more, some less!

My grandma used to cook a chorizo rice with tomato (due to her age she don't cook now), it's so yummy delicious!! From times to times I prepare it too, it's cheap and so flavored!! The aromas...hummm, amazing. Guess if I had beans it will enrich my recipe as I love rice and beans together!! Great idea! :))
