BEANS One 30-ounce can or two 15-ounce cans red kidney beans 1 1/2 teaspoons white pepper 1/4 teaspoon paprika 4 tablespoons(1/2 stick) butter 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder RICE 1 1/2 cups quick cooking rice (Minute Rice or Uncle Ben's) 1 1/2 cups water 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt Pour the beans with their liquid into a large saucepan. Turn the heat to medium. Add the pepper, paprika, butter, and garlic powder. When the beans begin to boil, use fork to mash some of them against the side of the pan. Stir the mixture constantly. In about 20 minutes, the beans will reach the consistency of refried beans( in other words, they will have a smooth, creamy texture with some whole beans still swimming around). Prepare the rice, using the 2 tablespoons butter and 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt instead of the butter and salt amounts specified on the box for 4 servings. To serve, pour 1/2 cup of beans into a bowl and scoop the same amount of rice on top of the beans.
