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
