The Secret to Popeye's Red Beans

Fitzmorris and one of his guests today both claimed Warren LeRuth personally told them (independently from each other) that the secret ingredient was 30% emulsified pork fat.
So much for red beans being a vegetable.

Fitz claimed you can recreate the Popeyes flavor by adding a few puréed hot dogs ( not sure the number) to your pot of red beans. Never tried it.

I knew they were bad for me! I have not eaten them in a long time, but they do taste great. I don't want them again.

I just might try the pureed hot dogs next time I make a pot of red beans. Not really. I like Popeye's rbnr but I don't want to make a big pot of them.
I will stick to smoked hocks/neck bones and good sausage. Can't find tasso or pickled pork here, only online.

Threadjack: I'm standing by for an OT-level blast in response to this question, but after 58.9-ish years of having Piccadilly's version as my RB reference...
...how do they do it?
The beans are whole, without the skins being tough in the least. The "juice" is flavorful, just up to the point of being creamy, but it does not seem to have a pureed component. Adding a healthy dose of LA Hot Sauce (never Tabasco) just makes it that much better.
So.... ???

I had a friend that used to work for diversified foods. I can tell you that yes that the prok fat is true. So damn tasty tho!

Love Popeye's red beans but wish they'd put less rice in them.
