SLOW COOKER RED BEANS & SAUSAGE

Slow Cooker Red Beans & Sausage image

Being from Louisiana, my go-to comfort food is red beans and rice. The Crock-Pot makes it so easy and the recipe reminds me of Sunday family dinners going back generations. Serve it as a slow-cooker side dish or make it a meal with hot buttered corn bread. -Lisa Bowie, Las Vegas, Nevada

RED BEAN SOUP WITH ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE (CROCK POT)

Red Bean Soup With Andouille Sausage (Crock Pot) image

Posting this for ZWT 2006 (French, Cajun & Creole region). I absolutely love red beans & rice though I make it my own weird way and when I found this recipe, I had to try it. I played with the spices some as it was rather bland the original way. I serve this kind of gumbo style with a scoop of cooked rice put into the bowls before I add the soup.
