Serious Fuckin’ Red Beans
4 lbs red beans, soaked overnight
4 lbs smoked sausage
2 – red bell peppers
2 – large onions
4 – stalks of celery
20 – cloves of garlic
4 – cups cooked rice
1 – quart of chicken, beef, or vegetable stock
Water
Cajun Spices (paprika, cayenne pepper, basil, thyme, cilantro, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder)
Hot sauce
Roughly chop up vegetables and set aside. Cut sausage into 1/2 inch thick pieces. In a big stock pot, brown the sausage pieces, then add vegetables and cook till slightly softened. Add spices, beans, and pour in the stock. Pour in enough water to barely cover everything. Give it a stir and cook low and slow until the beans are tender. 8 hours is recommended, but you can speed it up if you boil instead of simmer. Salt to taste, add hot sauce and enjoy. Refrigerate the leftovers.
