Time 4h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (1 lb) package red kidney beans
1 green bell pepper
1 medium onion
4 celery ribs
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 1/2-2 tablespoons creole seasoning or 1 1/2-2 tablespoons cajun seasoning
3 garlic cloves
8 cups water
1 lb smoked sausage (I have used chorizo which is good, but andouille is best)
cooked rice (at least 3 cups)

Steps:

  • Soak kidney beans overnight OR rinse beans and add to pot, cover with 8 cups water and bring to boil. Boil for 2 minutes, then turn off heat and let sit, covered for one hour.
  • Pour out water and add 8 cups fresh water.
  • Chop onion, bell pepper, celery and garlic.
  • Add to beans.
  • Add salt, pepper, thyme, seasoned salt, and Creole seasoning.
  • Cover and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium low and cook for 2 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. When you stir, be sure to mash the beans against the sides of the pot. This creates a creamier texture.
  • Slice the sausage into 1/4 inch pieces and add to beans. Cook for an additional 30 minutes.
  • Serve Red Beans over hot, steaming rice. Serve Jiffy cornbread on side (add 1 stick of butter and an extra egg to the recipe
  • for some kick-ass cornbread!).

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ham. The beans and rice are flavorful and the ham adds a nice touch of smokiness. I will definitely be making this again.
