Ingredients

  • 1 pound of dried red beans
  • 1 pound of andouille sausage, sliced
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 3 stalks of celery, chopped
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
  • 6 cups of chicken broth
  • 3 cups of cooked white rice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Dutch oven or large pot
  • Wooden spoon
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method

  1. Begin by soaking the red beans overnight in a large bowl of water. Drain and rinse the beans before cooking.
  2. Heat the Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the andouille sausage and cook until browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside.
  3. Add the chopped onion, red bell pepper, and celery to the pot. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add the minced garlic, bay leaves, Cajun seasoning, dried thyme, dried oregano, and smoked paprika to the pot. Stir until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Add the soaked red beans and chicken broth to the pot. Stir everything together and bring to a boil.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the beans are tender and creamy.
  7. Remove the bay leaves from the pot and discard.
  8. Season the red beans and rice with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Serve the red beans and sausage over a bed of fluffy white rice.
  10. Garnish with chopped green onions and hot sauce, if desired.

Notes

  • If you're short on time, you can use canned red beans instead of dried. Just be sure to drain and rinse them before adding them to the pot.
  • If you can't find andouille sausage, you can substitute it with any spicy smoked sausage.
  • If the red beans and rice are too thick for your liking, you can add more chicken broth or water to thin it out.
