Super Easy Red Beans and Rice

Update! I've added a picture! I cooked the rice again tonight as a side dish with some trout we caught last night.

Ingredients:
¤ 1 cup of brown rice, uncooked
¤ 2 cups of water
¤ 1/2 teaspoon of salt
¤ 1- 15 ounce package of ready to eat dark red kidney beans, drained
¤ 1 Tablespoon Weber N'Orleans Cajun Seasoning
¤ 1/2 Tablespoon Ground Cumin
¤ 1 Tablespoon Paprika
¤ 1 package Oscar Meyer real bacon bits
(Seasonings and spices amounts can be adjusted to taste)

1.  Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the salt, then the rice. Reduce heat to a gentle boil, stirring often.

2.  Add the Cajun Seasoning,  cumin and paprika. Stir well.

3.  When water is mostly absorbed, add the kidney beans. Cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Continue cooking until all water is absorbed stirring frequently.

4. Stir in the package of bacon bits and serve.
