2 tsp Creole seasoning
2 cans (15-oz each) red kidney beans, rinsed and drained

3 cups hot cooked brown rice
6 scallions, sliced thin, for garnish
In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic; cook, stirring frequently. Cook about 8-10 minutes until vegetables are crisp tender.
