Red Beans

Belle and I have vastly different recipes for red beans.  They're both good, used for different purposes.  Hers take all day, slowly simmering dry beans.

Mine is quicker.  I use canned beans, and from start to finish, you're eating in about an hour.

PawPaw's Red Beans.

Ingredients

1 lb bulk breakfast sausage
1 lb smoked sausage
flor
salt
4 cans (regular cans) red beans

Cooking.

In a large black iron pot, brown your breakfast sausage.  Cut your smoked sausage into rounds, and add to the pot  When all that meat gets cooked, drain it.

Use the fat from the sausage, and make a roux.  Add a little water, and put the meat back in the pot.  Add four cans of beans, stirring thoroughly.  While the beans simmer, make a pot of rice.

Seriously, your're ready in about an hour.  About the time the rice is done, you're ready to eat.

It's mostly sausage and gravy with a few cans of beans, but it's quick, and it's what's for supper.
