Red Beans and Rice

These are so simple, it's totally unbelievable.

Red Beans and Rice

Ingredients
2 lbs dry red beans
2 lbs good smoked sausge
6 cups dry rice
Water
Salt
Pepper

Prep Time 12 hours

Prep and Cooking
Twelve hours before you want red beans, rinse your beans in a colander and put them in the crock pot.  We use an 8-quart cooker.  Cut your sausage into rounds, and add the sausage as well.  Add water to cover the sausage/beans, and add a little salt and pepper.  Put the lid on the crock pot.  and st it on low.  Go to bed.  Seriously, you're done.  We put this pot on about 8:00 pm and I took the picture about 11:00 am the next morning

Shortly before lunch, put on a pot of rice (We make six sups of rice when feeding the family). 

Serve beans/sausage over rice.  Make some cornbread.  It's lunch (or dinner, if you put the beans on when you make coffee in the morning).

We fed fifteen (15) people for lunch today, and all the beans are gone.

It's a bit more work, but I like to slit my sausages lengthwise & put 'em on the smoker for a bit. I use minimal coals, just enough to get smoke from my wood. Once they've absorbed some smoke, I cut 'em up into half-moons about 1/4" or so thick, & proceed with my cooking. A bit more time & effort, but man! the smoke really makes a difference.
