Popeye's Red Beans and Rice

Ingredients:

Beans

1- 30 oz can red beans

1 1/2 tsp white pepper

1/4 tsp paprika

4 Tbs butter

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp salt

Rice

1-1/2 cups quick cooking rice

1 - 1/2 cups water

2 Tbs butter

1/2 tsp garlic salt

Direction:

Pour beans with liquid into a large saucepan. Turn heat to medium. Add pepper, paprika, butter, garlic powder and salt. When beans begin to boil, use a fork to mash some of them against the side of the pan. Stir the mixture constantly. In about 20 min, the beans will reach the consistency of the refried beans. Prepare the rice, using the 2 tbs butter and 1/2 tsp 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.
