1. Soak Camellia red beans in water overnight.
2. Brown down some smoked sausage (I prefer andouille). Remove from pot.
3. Cube up about half a pack of bacon and cook until crispy. Remove from pot.
4. Add your trinity to the bacon grease and cook until onions are almost translucent. Season veggies while cooking with salt, pepper, onion/garlic powder, smoked paprika, Cajun seasoning, and a little bit of worchestershire and hot sauce.
5. Add meat back to pot with veggies, cook for a couple minutes, then add beans and stir everything together.
6. Add chicken and/or beef broth until beans are covered. If not enough broth, can use water. Season liquid with same spices used on veggies.
7. Bring to boil then cover and turn to low for about 2-3 hours.
8. Smash beans against side of pot with spoon every hour or so to get thicker/creamier beans.
9. Enjoy

Thank you! I’ll probably follow this exactly. Is this for one pack of beans and 1lb of sausage?

Juice ain’t worth the squeeze with RBR. Blue Runner + trinity + good smoked sausage competes and many times is better than homemade. Haters gon hate.

I used to hate crockpots but they work for beans.

Add trinity, beans, and good tasso(half pound) to pot, cover by an inch with chicken stock. Add two big pinches of salt then set on low for 8 hours. Taste and add salt/pepper as needed.

I always wait and brown the sausage in a separate pan then add after i cut the heat on the beans. I find that when I cook it with the beans the fat cooks out making the sausage dry.

IMO the two things that make your beans good are quality stock and tasso.

Also, if you smash the beans to cream them then they turn into a paste the next day. No big deal if there isnt leftovers.

the recipe on the bag of beans is undefeated. Modify or enhance to your liking

the basic ingredients are beans, trinity, liquid and seasonings. Smoked meats are up to you any will work, as will pickled pork, chicken thighs, pork chops, etc

fry some pattons hot sausage patties for accompaniment and you are in high cotton

The Cajun Ninja recipe is legit.

LINK is for white beans but the steps are the same.

quote:

1/2 Stick of Unsalted Butter
1 lb Raw White Navy Beans
1 Onion
1 Green Bell Pepper
2 Sticks of Celery
3 Cloves of Garlic
1 lb Smoked Diced Ham
1/2 lb Smoked Tasso
5 Cups of Water (for pre-boil)
2 Cups of Water (for simmer)
1 32oz Container of Chicken Broth
1 Tablespoon Cajun or Creole Seasoning
1 Tablespoon of Parsley Flakes
1 Teaspoon of Salt
2 Bay Leaves
Rice

Start out by washing the beans and setting them off to the side.
Heat a large pan heated over Medium Heat.
Cut up the Tasso and Ham if it isn’t already prepared.
Chop the onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic.
Add half of the 1/2 sick of butter to the pan.
Once the butter had completely melted, add in the ham and tasso.
Sauté the ham and tasso until you start to see some browning form on the bottom of the pan.
Remove the meat from the pan, then add the rest of the butter.
Next add in the chopped vegetables.
Sauté for roughly 20-25 minuets.
Meanwhile in a separate pot, add 5 Cups of water, 32 oz container of chicken broth, and the beans.
Bring to a boil. The moment you’ve reached a hard boil is when you set a timer for 10 minuets. Keep the pot uncovered.
Back in the pan, once your vegetables have sautéed in the allotted time, add a small amount of the remaining 2 Cups of water. Stir the pan well so that you break up any remanded contents on the bottom.
Add the meat and rest of 2 Cups of water to the pan. Stir.
Once the 10 minuets is up on the beans, dump the contents of the pan in to the pot of beans.
Add the Cajun Seasoning, Parsley Flakes, Salt, and Bay Leaves. Stir well.
Bring to a boil, cover, lower burner to simmer, and let simmer 2-3 hours. Check the texture of the beans at the 2 hour mark. If they still seem a little hard, then keep simmering. If they are to your liking, then you can begin thickening them.
Gently mash beans on the side of the pot and stir to thicken. Do this till you get the desired consistency. Also simmering uncovered will thicken them.
Cook some rice and enjoy!

This is Emeril's recipe and it's my go to.. I add a little more sausage than it calls for, because I like it with a little more meat.

Ingredients
1 pound dried red beans
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup chopped yellow onions
1/2 cup chopped green bell peppers
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 pound andouille or other spicy smoked sausage, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Creole Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 bay leaves
One 1-pound ham hock
2 to 2 1/2 quarts Chicken Stock or
canned low-sodium chicken broth

Directions
In a colander, rinse the beans under cold running water. Discard any broken beans or pebbles. Transfer the beans to a large bowl and add enough cold water to cover by 2 inches. Soak for at least 8 hours, or overnight. Or, bring the beans and enough water to cover by 2 inches to a boil in a large pot over high heat and cook for 2 minutes, then remove from the heat and cover tightly; let stand for 1 hour.
Heat the oil in a large heavy stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the onions, bell peppers, and garlic and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the sausage, salt, Essence, cayenne, black pepper, thyme, and bay leaves. Cook, stirring often, until the sausage is browned, about 4 minutes. Add the ham hock and cook for 2 minutes.
Drain the beans and add to the pot. Pour in enough stock to cover by about 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender, about 2 hours. Remove and discard the bay leaves.
Mash about one-fourth of the bean mixture against the side of the pot with a heavy spoon to thicken the juices. Remove the ham hock. Let cool slightly. Slice the meat from the bone, discarding the skin and bones. Return the meat to the pot and heat through.
Spoon cooked rice into bowls and top with the beans.

It's all about the Tabasco

Soak beans overnight of course then next morning add

1Lb Red Beans
1 ham hock
2 onions medium
1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
3 bay leaves
2 cloves of garlic minced
1 tsp cumin powder
Pinch of red pepper
7 fl oz Tabasco
Pinch of salt
2 red jalapeños

Cook this on low for 8 hours and final two hours slice 1lb andouille and add to beans in crockpot.

This obviously isn't traditional New Orleans red beans more Natchitoches style.
Cook rice on the side, plate, nd serve

I don't follow a recipe. I pretty much just make it. However, before serving, I drop a stick of butter in the pot.

1 pound breakfast sausage to start and pull it.
Render your smoked pork sausage and pull it
Trinity and garlic, bay leaf



I use a can of refried beans once I've sauteed the vegetables. Then I add Worcestershire

Add the Beans. I think soaking camelia comes out better than cans but I use cans a lot too
add the meat back
cover with stock or water
