re: Red Beans & Rice

I know this may sound crazy but this is what I do. Using the instructions on the back of the bag, just put everything in the pot at once and cook until the beans are soft. If you want thicker beans use 8 cups of water instead of 10. Also smash some of the beans in the pot about 10 min before they are ready. This will make them thick and creamy. I also like to add a honey baked hambone along with the sausage. You can pick one of these up at the honey baked ham store on seigen lane for about $7. This is a very easy and delicious way to cook beans.
