Red Beans and Rice been cooking since 3:00 yesterday PM

Why so? I haven't done this before but a local guy suggested this. Said his turn out well when doing it this way.

That is how I cook mine. Start them at night on low, then add the sausage the next morning and let it continue to cook on low the whole time and we eat them that night. They cook about 24 hours and are not mushy.

I'm eating some now and they are gooooooooood! Ya'll had me worried but they turned out fine.
