Red beans and rice is a Louisiana Creole dish traditionally made and served on Mondays. You can spoon the red beans over the cooked rice, but I prefer to add my rice to the cooking red beans to give the rice extra flavor. Most types of rice tend to get mushy when cooked directly in a slow cooker, so I add cooked brown rice to this recipe near the end of the cooking time. If you prefer to cook your rice right in the slow cooker, you will get the best results by adding ¾ cup
