  3. Melt the butter and add all the remaining ingredients (excluding the rice with 1/2 can of beans).
  4. Simmer the bean mixture for 45 minutes.
  5. Stir every 10 mins or so and mash the light red beans with the back of a wooden spoon (you don't have to mash them all, just be sure to give those beans a good mashing!).
  6. After 45 mins remove from the heat and add the cooled cooked rice and the additional 1/2 can of beans mixture.
  7. Stir it all together until the rice is warmed through again and serve.
  8. Reheats really well if you would like to make this ahead of time.
