I've been making this "recipe" for years but never wrote it down because like most cooks, I don't measure everything and never really considered it to be a recipe.

How to Make Red beans, sausage & rice my way
- Cut smoked sausage into coin-size pieces and brown in a 5-quart Dutch oven with a little canola oil added.
- Remove sausage and drain on paper towels.
- Discard all but about 2 tbs. grease and add onion, pepper & onions. Saute' until soft.
- Return sausage to Dutch oven and add remaining ingredients. Simmer on medium heat for about an hour, stirring frequently to make sure it doesn't stick.
- Serve over hot rice (we prefer brown rice)with sides of green salad and cornbread or French bread.
