Ingredients
16 oz. bag of dry small red beans1 medium yellow onion, chopped1 medium green pepper, chopped1-14oz. pkg of turkey smoked sausage, chopped2T of creole seasoning3 cups of broth (whichever flavor you like best)8 cups of brown rice, cooked
Soak beans according to package directions overnight.
Drain, beans and place in a stockpot covering the beans with 6-8 cups of water. Boil for 10 minutes. Drain.
Place beans along with remaining ingredient into a crock-pot (slow cooker) and cover. Set on HIGH for 4-6 hours or LOW for 6-8 hours.
I personally like my beans WELL DONE so I set mine to HIGH for the whole 8 hours. This is a personal preference.
I also like take the back of a wooden spoon and smash through some of the beans. This will help thicken up the dish a bit too if the beans haven't absorbed most of the liquid. Again, a personal preference and you do not have to do this. If you would rather have a thinner consistency to your sauce you may even want to increase your broth to 4 cups.
This recipe makes approximately 8 cups of Red Beans (16 servings). Serve 1/2-cup of beans over 1/2-cup of cooked brown rice. Enjoy!
