Would like to compare Red Beans and Rice Recipes.

I am making a pot of red beans, and was just wondering how my way compares to others.
Here's mine : 1pound ground pork, 1 pound Conecuh brand smoked sausage, 1/2 pound chopped bacon,2 medium sized yellow onions chopped,1 red, 1 yellow, 1green bell pepper all chopped.
Brown all the meat together then drain, throw in onions and peppers and a little water, let it simmer a few minutes.
add 3 cans of light red kidney beans, 3 cans water, 6 cubes chicken bouillon,some ground red pepper and simmer for about 90 minutes'
I always serve it with Mahatma gold rice.

I never use canned beans. My mom used to get fresh beans and they didn't even need soaking and came out so creamy.
Never heard if ground pork in them either
Smokes sausage, pickle meat, the trinity and I use the water that the beans soaked in

1 lb. of dry red beans or kidney beans. Soak until they begin to split.
Hambone.
Chop up an onion, stalk of celery, and one bell pepper, seeded.
Saute your vegetables, starting with the onion in the grease from a couple of pieces of bacon that you cook down. Then, after the onions become translucent, add the diced celery and bell pepper.
Add in the hambone and the beans and and 2-3 bay leaves and cover with an inch of water. Season with creole seasoning, some salt, tabasco sauce.
Bring to a boil and then turn down and let cook for a couple of hours. You want to slow cook the beans. The ham bone will give it flavor.
After 3 hours or so, take out the hambone and chop any meat on it off and throw it back in the pot.
Add in a pound of smoked sausage, sliced, and cook another hour or so until the beans get a bit creamy. You don't want the beans to completely fall apart, but you want them to begin to mix together in the water and create something of a bean gravy.
Serve over rice. It is fantastic.
Takes about 4 hours but cooking longer doesn't hurt as long as you don't let the beans turn to complete mush.
If you are using canned beans, it will obviously take less time, but if I am going to do all of this, I just use the dried beans and I do it right.

I soak dry beans in water and beef broth over night in the crock pot. next day add finely diced onion and rotel tomatoes with Tony's seasoning. cook down until noon-ish.... add chopped sausage about an hour before wanting to serve.
