If Im trying to be lazy with red beans i just do new orleans style blue runners

A blind person couldn’t tell a difference With cheater red beans with no salt blue runners, sautée half a canister of Guidrys trinity, some fresh chopped garlic and parsley, throw in some good assuage, season it .. hours less same taste, friends will think you’re a rockstar and not know

OP I’ve never tried it. Didn’t know they made that one to be honest.

I got one that’s awesome from Zatarains recently. Buy their dirty rice box, I bought the family size one, and use sage sausage. The kind of sausage you would use for breakfast patties. There is something in that sage sausage that makes that stuff taste amazing. I even stuffed some in pita bread and it tasted very similar to a Natchitoches Meat Pie.

I do think it’s a sin to put Conecuh Sausage in gumbo. Don’t get me wrong I live in Daphne, AL and love that finger sized skinny Conecuh sausage on the grill, but not in a gumbo. It’s too greasy for that and the texture is odd. I think it has something to do with that sheepskin casing. I thought I saw where you said you liked it in the black beans. I’d have to try it.

To make this mess, you cook both the red beans and the rice in the same pot. I guess the beans are pre-cooked, then freeze dried for the mix.

I don't think that poster is from here...Those mix's are just ok at best.

I'm going to demand a recipe.

Conecuh has too much msg. Nasty. You want some real sausage get some Cajun Hot from Farm Fresh Meats in Robertsdale. Best hot sausage you will ever eat and it is killer in jambalaya, red beans and gumbo.
