BATON ROUGE – Louisiana Fish Fry officially announced the launch of its new Red Beans Seasoning. This latest addition to the brand’s portfolio is said to deliver the deep, slow-simmered taste of a Louisiana comfort classic, giving home cooks an easy way to bring red beans and rice, a trusted Southern staple, to the table any night of the week.
Red beans and rice has long held a cherished place in Southern kitchens, known for being hearty, filling, and family-friendly. The Louisiana Fish Fry team says it developed its new seasoning to meet growing demand for meals that stretch both time and budget, without sacrificing authenticity. As one-pot cooking continues to trend among busy households, and families look for ways to make higher-cost proteins go further, red beans and rice offers a natural solution: affordable, versatile, and rooted in real Louisiana tradition.
This new seasoning captures the flavor of red beans simmered low and slow for hours – onions, peppers, and traditional Cajun spice – ready in under 40 minutes. Home cooks simply add beans and their choice of meat, such as sausage or ham, then serve over rice for a complete, hearty meal.
“Red beans and rice is Louisiana comfort food at its most iconic – it’s what many of us grew up eating every Monday,” said Poppy Tooker, cookbook author and Louisiana Fish Fry spokesperson. “This seasoning takes all of that tradition and history and makes it achievable on a weeknight. It’s real, slow-simmered flavor without the all-day cook time, and it makes a family’s grocery budget go further, which matters now more than ever.”
Consumers can find the Red Beans Seasoning exclusively at Walmart, and at retailers nationwide beginning in 2027. For more information and to explore New Orleans-style recipes, visit louisianafishfry.com or follow @lafishfry on Instagram.
