Louisiana Red Beans And Rice

Total Time: 3 hrs 5 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 3 hrs

Ingredients

• Servings: 15
• 1 lb dried beans
• 1 large onion
• 1 bell pepper
• 1 lb sausage
• water
• 3 cups rice
• 6 cups water

Recipe

• 1 soak beans overnight, if desired, and drain.
• 2 in an iron pot, cover beans with 2 inches of water. add chopped onion, pepper, and sausage. bring to a heavy simmer, and cook for 1-2 hours until tender, periodically checking on them and adding water as needed (they are easy to burn.).
• 3 when the beans are about ready, cook rice as you normally would. season to taste, and serve warm over rice.
• 4 note: if you don't soak the beans, you can simply cook them for an additional hour or two. it is really hard to give a time for cooking this, as it depends on how old the beans are, what kind of beans they are, how long they soaked, and how much of a simmer you have them cooking at. i have prepared un-soaked navy beans in an hour and a half; but i have also had un-soaked kidney beans that took a full 4 hours. you can always start them about 4 hours before you want to eat, and then if they get done sooner just turn the heat off and warm them up again in time to eat.
