Red Beans - Poor Holler Style image

Red Kidney beans by Camellia in LA are far superior beans to anything else on the market. I get them from Cajungrocer.com since I can't find them in my area. Additionally, They stay good for a very long time. Some beans get too old, too hard - these are always perfect. Tonight I found a bag that was previously opened and put in a zip loc that is at least four years old. I cooked them and still top quality. This is so delicious with lard, you don't even need to add meat - hence Poor Holler Style. You'll never eat better - more delicious beans!

The beans were undercooked. I had to cook them for an extra 30 minutes.

The beans were a bit bland. I think I'll add more spices next time.

The beans were a bit too salty for my taste. I'll use less salt next time.

This recipe is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably use less cayenne pepper next time.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. The beans were still very flavorful.

I added some smoked sausage to this recipe and it was delicious. The smokiness of the sausage really complemented the beans.
