INGREDIENTS
•
1 pound dry kidney Pinto beans
•
1/3 cup olive oil
•
1 green bell pepper, diced
•
1 large onion, diced
•
2 stalks celery, diced
•
2 tablespoons minced garlic
•
6 cups water
•
a couple of slices of bacon, cut up
•
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (less if you are feeding kids)
•
2 bay leaves (if you don't have it in your cabinet don't worry about it)
•
a pinch of brown sugar
•
1 teaspoon Phil Robertson's Cajun Style Seasoning
•
1 tablespoon parsley flakes (again, don't sweat it if you don't have it)
•
1 pound Andouille sausage, sliced (Add more if you like sausage, or a different kind if this is too spicy.)
•
Ham bone with as much ham left on it as you want (I buy one that is honey glazed, take the ham off for sandwiches, then use what's left for beans)

Louisiana Hot Sauce
