--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It’s crazy how you grow into enjoying certain foods you didn’t enjoy when you
were a kid. Like most kids, I hated beans. Any dish that had beans in it, I
hated! Beans aren’t kids friends and I get that now. However, as a grown-up I
really enjoy beans. Having beans in a dish does not prevent me from, at least,
trying it. In fact, I probably am more encouraged just so I can try different
ways to eat beans. So parents, if you are scoping this meal as an option to feed
your family and your kids are under the age, let’s say, 16, you might want to
think of a backup plan.

I have had Red Beans and Rice, from scratch, only a few times in my life. The
times I’ve had it, they took almost a full day and a half to make. Let’s see.
You have to soak the beans overnight and cook them for hours. When I say for
hours I mean from the moment you wake up until around 4 pm that evening. I guess
that is a total of 8 hours to cook, at least.





Or, you can make them like one of my closest friends (Bentley) where she soaks
her beans a couple of times to get rid of all the potential gas, cooks a pound
of bacon, preserve the bacon fat, and cook her veggies (onions, peppers, garlic)
and sausage all in that bacon fat and let me tell you, her recipe is one of the
best Red Beans and Rice recipes I’ve ever had. So I bet you are wondering why
didn’t I post her recipe instead of the one I’m showing you now. The answer is
because I don’t have time and I want to live for a very long time. I can’t do
that if I have a bunch of bacon fat in more arteries.












HOW I MAKE MY RED BEANS AND RICE

This recipe, in my opinion, still has all of that amazing flavor but it cuts
down on half of the prep time. In this Red Beans and Rice recipe, I don’t soak
my beans because I used canned beans, including the liquid, and I don’t use any
bacon fat but I do use a ham hock for flavor and cook with andouille sausage. I
use a variety of different seasonings to get that 2-day old flavor. I still let
the beans cook for a few hours, or at least until the meat and fat from the ham
hock start to fall off. Then I serve the beans over fluffy rice with a side of
delicious Skillet Buttery Cornbread.




 





I don’t know where you are in the world, but here in Cincinnati, OH it is about
1 degree. Yep, it’s pretty cold and there is nothing like my Easy Red Beans and
Rice recipe to warm you from the inside out.

INSTRUCTIONS

    
 1. In a large cooking pot on medium heat, add the olive oil and cook the onions
    and bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic
    cloves and cook until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
 2. Add the ham hock and the beans to the pot. Next add the seasonings, salt,
    pepper, garlic and onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and bay
    leaf. Stir throughout the beans. Cover with lid and let simmer for, at
    least, 2 hours. Remove the ham hock from the pot and, using a sharp knife,
    cut the ham hock roughly and return back to the pot and stir.
 3. Use a potato masher and lightly mash some of the beans and stir. Don’t mash
    completely.
 4. NOTE: You can also put the ingredients in a crockpot and cook on low for, at
    least, 4 hours.
 5. Take the andouille sausage and add to the pot 30 minutes before serving. Add
    more seasoning if necessary and serve over cooked white or brown rice. Top
    with chopped green onion, if desired.

    Is there any liquid added to the pot before the beans are added?

      No ma’am. Just the liquid from the beans.
