     Title: Copycat Popeyes Red Beans & Rice
Categories: Beans, Pork, Chilies, Rice
     Yield: 10 servings

45 1/2 oz Red beans (3 cans)
   3/4 lb Smoked ham hock -OR-
   1/4 ts Liquid smoke
 1 1/4 c  Water
   1/2 ts Onion powder
   1/2 ts Garlic salt
   1/4 ts Red pepper flakes
   1/2 ts Salt
     3 tb Lard
   1/4 ts Fresh ground pepper
     4 c  Cooked long grain rice; to
          - serve

 Pour 2 cans of beans into a 2 qt saucepan along with the ham hock
 and water.

 Simmer on medium heat for an hour, until the meat starts to loosen
 from the bone.

 Remove from the heat and cool until the ham hock is cool enough to
 handle.

 Remove the meat from the bone, and place the meat, beans, and
 liquid from the pot in a food processor.

 Add the onion powder, garlic salt, red pepper flakes, salt, and
 lard.

 Process for only 4 seconds. The beans should be chopped and the
 liquid thick.

 Drain the remaining can of beans and add it to the processor.

 Process for just a second or two; you want these beans to remain
 almost whole.

 Pour everything back into the pan and cook slowly on low heat,
 stirring often, until you're ready to serve.

 Serve over rice.
