sarahbyrddI decided I needed red beans and rice and cornbread today. The recipe card has my mother's writing, but it's my granny's (or older) recipe.
I will say that it is improved if you grease the skillet with bacon grease rather than vegetable oil.
I sorta mostly kinda followed this recipe for the beans, http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/red-beans-and-rice-recipe2.html, I don't think we actually have one written down in the family. I used a hambone we had in the freezer, and cut the cooking time by a bit by using the pressure cooker, though I did have to let it simmer uncovered for half an hour or so to thicken up while the rice and cornbread were cooking.
