Donnies New Orleans Style Slow Cooked Red Beans
From donman 17 years agoIngredients
- 1 lb. dry red kidney beans shopping list
- 3 heaping tablespoons bacon grease (If you don’t have any bacon grease, fry a pack of bacon in the pot you are going to cook the beans in, remove the bacon and leave the grease in the pot.) shopping list
- 8 cups water (2 quarts) shopping list
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped shopping list
- 1 green pepper, chopped shopping list
- 1 bunch green onions, chopped shopping list
- 3 tablespoons minced garlic shopping list
- 1 tablespoon Donnie’s cajun seasoning Mix (or equivalent ingredients) (Recipe on my recipe page) shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce shopping list
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce shopping list
- 1 Lb. of Andouille sausage peeled and sliced ¼ in. thick shopping list
- 2 medium ham hocks shopping list
- salt to taste shopping list
How to make it
- Pick through beans to remove bad beans; rinse thoroughly. Soak overnight. (Change water every 2-4 hours when possible)
- In an 8 quart stock pot (or 7qt. cast iron Dutch oven), add the bacon grease and let dissolve on medium heat.
- Once dissolved, add onion, green pepper, garlic, green onions and sauté until the onions are translucent.
- Add seasoning mix, hot sauce, Worcestershire Sauce and mix well.
- Add beans, water and ham hocks. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low-med. Cover and cook over low-med heat for about 6 hours. (stir beans at least once an hour)
- After 6 hours, remove ham hocks, let cool, remove the ham from hocks and discard the bone and fat. Add the ham and Andouille sausage to the beans and cook 2 more hours or until beans are tender. (stirring the beans at least once an hour)
- If beans are too watery, bring beans to a low boil and cook uncovered stirring very frequently so the beans don’t burn until the desired thickness is achieved.
- Serve over hot cooked rice.
