New Orleans red beans do you not use canned mushrooms or tomatoes. I have never seen either in red beans anywhere in this city!

Don't know who put this recipe online as Creole Red Beans, but there is no way mushrooms would be put in red beans and rice. Hahaha!! So wrong.... Check your resources carefully.
