Dainty Rice And Beans - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 cup white rice (this makes about 2 cups cooked)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 bay leaf
1 small onion, chopped fine
8 ounces red kidney beans
2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon ketchup
1/2 teaspoon creole seasoning
salt (to taste)
1 1/2 cups water

Preparation

Put rice, water, and olive oil into a medium-sized pot (uncovered) and bring to a boil.
Once rice is boiling, bring down the temperature to medium-low heat and keep the rice at a low boil. Once water is at a low boil, cover and cook for about 20 minutes until water is almost completely absorbed.
Add in 8 oz of canned of kidney beans, bay leaf, barbeque sauce, ketchup, onion, creole seasoning, and salt (to taste).
Stir and let cook until rice is tender, then serve.
*** Tastes great with a pot roast or another type of roast that would produce a brown gravy to pour over the rice.
