Hi budgetmom - Can you make him some red beans and rice? I call mine dirty rice - I don't know if this is the official name for it but it looks dirty but tastes great. I make this by cooking 2 cups rice to 4 cups of water. While this is cooking I brown either a lb. of hamburger or sausage w/some onion. The rice takes 20 minutes covered. Add the meat to the rice and add 3 or 4 cans of red beans. Heat thoroughly. I add some brown gravy mix to this - I add fresh garlic, worcestershire sauce and season salt and maybe a bit of water if it needs it. Serve w/a green salad, bread and butter and some kind of fruit for dessert. The 3 grown guys here all chow down and I get maybe a bowl and they all get a couple of bowls. Sometimes there is a little bit left for lunch the next day.
