INGREDIENTS
•
Louisiana-Style Red Beans and Rice
•
(Makes about 6 servings, recipe created by Kalyn with inspiration from many visits to New Orleans through the years.)
•
I used a 3.5 quart slow cooker to make this, but a slightly smaller 3 quart size would work. This freezes well, so you might want to double the recipe and use a larger crockpot.
•
1 large onion, diced small
•
2-3 tsp. olive oil
•
1 T minced garlic
•
1 T Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning

•
(or other Creole seasoning of your choice)
•
1 tsp. dried thyme
•
1 tsp. dried oregano
•
salt and black pepper to taste (I didn't use salt because the Tony Chachere's seasoning has salt, and I only used a little bit of pepper)
•
4 cups cooked small red beans (or use 3 cans red beans, rinsed and drained and add 1/2 cup more chicken stock)
•
3 cups diced lean ham or Louisiana Hot Sausages (dice into pieces about the size of the cooked beans)
•
3 cups homemade chicken stock or canned chicken broth
•
1 T Worcestershire sauce
•
1 tsp. Green Tabasco Sauce (or use a smaller amount of red Tobasco)
•
2-3 bay leaves
•
1 tsp. red wine vinegar
•
3 cups cooked white rice for serving (Use Uncle Bean's Converted Rice for South Beach Diet.)
