Rocking Red Beans
By April W., Wanda P. and Kim C. from Millbridge Elementary School, China Grove/ North Carolina.
Description
Our red beans rock! Beans are a healthy addition to any diet and these red beans are a terrific side dish or could move to center stage as a main dish bean entrée. Simmered in beef broth and a hint of garlic and onion, these beans are a kid favorite.
