"One of the better recipes for red beans and rice. I prefer the ham hocks, but you can use a a ham bone instead. The longer you cook it the better it is and the beans get more creamier"

Original is 10-12 servings

Step by Step Method

Step 1

In a large stock pot, place ham hocks, water, garlic salt, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce and beans. Heat on medium until it just starts to boil, then immediately reduce heat to low and continue to cook uncovered.

Step 2

In a separate skillet, heat oil on medium-high heat. Add celery and onions, saute for 1 minute stirring constantly. Add garlic and saute 1 more minute stirring constantly.

Step 3

Add ham and smoked sausages and cook until sausage is brown, stirring often. Drain and add contents of skillet to stock pot.

Step 4

Add bay leaves, salt, and pepper and cook uncovered until beans are soft and creamy, about 4 hours. If your heat is too high, you may need to add a little water towards the end.

Step 5

Before serving, remove ham hocks and remove the meat from the bone, adding the meat to the pot. Remove bay leaves and add parsley. Serve over cooked rice.

Ham hocks were definitely the right choice for the meat in these beans and rice. That being said, they are easy to make, though they take awhile, but they are so worth the time it does take to make them from scratch. Tremendously delicious!

This is a kind of recipe that you crave all the time, for my taste way more hot sauce and garlic was needed, I don't do the soaking bean thing it canned for me, replaced water with half chicken broth. Great flavor and easy to make!
