Red beans?
Posted on 5/3/18 at 7:48 pm

I had a conversation with a few friends today, and I was in the minority.
I make red beans in the crock pot. If I have left over grilled chicken or pork chops in the fridge, I throw it in there along with the sausage. I got some serious backlash.
“Red beans should only have sausage and maybe Tasso.”
I don’t understand this adhering to “tradition” to the point of not having good stuff. What’s the F&D’s opinion?

Pork chop is ok. Chicken no thanks

I wouldn't put chicken in red beans honestly. There are a lot of things you can do with leftover chicken (chicken salad with pecans and grapes and some green onion) but red beans to me is a no no.

If you like it, do it.

I have never put chicken in it but I have cooked chicken normally and had some leftover beans and had it on the side or put them on top.
I only put sausage and pickled pork/ham hock

I’ve done pork chops many a time. Never done chicken, but it wouldn’t ruin the beans.

All these are acceptable:
Pickled pork
Ham
Sausage
Tasso
Ham hocks
Andouille

Everything is fine except for this.
It works this way, no questions asked

Back in '95, my MawMaw made red beans one Monday and realized after she started cooking that she had no appropriate meat. So she used breakfast sausages - the little links.
It was magical.
She never did it again, and I never tried to replicate it. We just let ot be, as one of those all time great performances.
RIP MawMaw.

I think you may be on to something with the thighs. As far as as only sausage, tell F off. Ham hocks rock in red beans.
