Red beans are kidney beans. So are white beans.
To answer your question about creaminess, cook long and add fat. The fat makes it creamy.
You can mash up some to aid in breaking down the beans into the "sauce".

Use Camelia brand red beans.

Wikipedia:
So white beans (Great Northern and navy) and pinto beans are kidneys.
quote:
"There are different classifications of kidney beans, such as:
Red kidney bean (also known as: common kidney bean, rajma in India, surkh (red) lobia in Pakistan).
Light speckled kidney bean (and long shape light speckled kidney bean).
Red speckled kidney bean (and long shape light speckled kidney bean).
White kidney bean (also known as cannellini in Italy and the UK, lobia in India, or safaid (white) lobia in Pakistan)."

I don't think so. Some kidney beans are red, but . . .
quote:
Although red beans and kidney beans are often used interchangeably, they're actually two different kinds of beans. Red beans are small beans with an oblong shape similar to many other beans. Kidney beans, on the other hand, are big, plump, and kidney-shaped.
The first link that Google came up with out of many more.

If you're wanting true Natchitoches style red beans you need to cook longer than you would for New Orleans style, and don't skimp on the Tabasco. 7oz per batch of beans minimum.

By the way, want your mind blown?
Great Northern beans come from the same plant species that green beans come from. The Great Northerns are what's inside the "green bean", which is the pod.
It all depends on the harvest time.

You'd want to make sure to remove the meat before using that.

THIS!
I made a pot rather recently with the Blue Runner brand dried beans. I think they were on sale or something and I thought there's no way they could be much different than Camelia. God, I was wrong. I cooked the shite out of them and they wouldn't bread down and get creamy for anything. The color was way too dark as well, I thought. I eventually got them decent enough, but they still were not nearly as good as when I use Camelia.
