Once my husband's favorite New Orleans takeout closed, I challenged myself to develop a tasty red beans and rice recipe that I could make at home. This pressure-cooker version is hearty and satisfies his Cajun cravings. —Jennifer Schwarzkopf, Oregon, Wisconsin

Test Kitchen tips

Serve with a sweet cornbread (and honey butter, if you have a few extra minutes to whip some up!

This recipe tastes even better on days two and three. If you can make it a day in advance, go for it—the sauce just gets thicker and tastier the longer it coagulates.
