Half inch above beans. Do not use same water you soaked them in though

Natchitoches style is more spicy and the beans ate more of a slop than beany. New Orlens style you mash some but Natchitoches style basically all the beans are naturally mashed without having to actually mash them it's part of the slow cooker process.

I was willing to believe you but now it sounds like you just making stuff up. Add a large amount of tobasco and jalepenos and they are now "Natchitoches style". Come on now, does this apply just to bean or any dish to make it "Natchitoches style"?

Well okay my family since the 1800's has hailed from there so I think I know a little bit about it. Also Lasyone's is considered to be the #1 lunch spot for anyone who knows anything and this is what their beans look like...



It's not just the spice it's also the less beany more slop style.

The why do you need your bean recipe critiqued?

I said I know Natchitoches style beans my recipe is not what every single person from Natchitoches does. It simply is the style of which I follow.

I like creamy red beans without having to mash them, also, but I don't believe for a minute that Lasyone's puts a 7 oz bottle of Tabasco plus red jalapenos in the red beans.

I want the meat pie in the picture. Love their meat pies.

That may be a lot of hot sauce and peppers but I bet I would LOVE it. I love me some spicy beans. I usually toss a handful of jalapenos on top of my beans before serving.

This. The recipes on the Camellia packages don't even call for it any more.

I spent many a day (and night) along the banks of the mighty Cane River, but I don't remember "Natchitoches style" red beans. Not saying nobody used that term, but I don't remember it.

That's because I made it up. If you spent any time there you would know 100% the beans are different than "NOLA" style.

Cook it traditionally and use Emerill's recipe and then right next to it use Cane River cookbook and let me know. There are definite differences, however those who are not familiar with Natchitoches "style" would have to mash at the end. If you cook it to Lasyone consistency you don't need to mash.

Maybe so. I doubt it, though. I feel as though we're on the edge of discovering that there are distinct and specific guidlines for the preparation of red beans for practically every parish, town and city in Louisiana...Hell...I just want the NOLA and Nachitoches versions as a primer.
