1 lb Red beans; rinse and sort
1 lg Onion; chop
1 lg Green bell pepper; chop
2 Ribs celery; chop
1 bn Green onions; chop
1 tb Garlic; mince
1 Bay leaf
1/2 ts Thyme
1/2 ts Chili powder
Salt and pepper
Cayenne
Tabasco; opt
2 Ham hocks
1 lb Ham chunks
1 lb Turkey or smoked sausage;
-cut 1" pcs
Cooked rice
You may soak your beans or not. I don't. Put beans in
a pot with water, onions, bell pepper, celery, green
onions, garlic, seasonings and meats (except sausage.
Cook until beans are tender, 2 to 3 hours. About 15
minutes before beans are done, add sausage. I like to
add a little Wondra to thicken gravy at this point.
Some people smash some beans on the side of the pot to
thicken gravy. Remove bay leaf and serve over cooked
rice. Pass the Tabasco for those who like some more
spice. Some people like to pour a little Hot Pepper
Vinegar on top. We have baked or fried pork chops on
the side. MM Waldine Van Geffen
