Steps:
- Place the beans in a large bowl or pot and cover with water by 2 inches. Let soak for 8 hours or overnight. Drain and set aside.
- In a large pot, heat the bacon grease over medium-high heat. Add the tasso and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the onions, celery and bell peppers to the grease in the pot. Season with the salt, pepper, and cayenne, and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are soft, about 4 minutes. Add the bay leaves, parsley, thyme, sausage, and ham hocks, and cook, stirring, to brown the sausage and ham hocks, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the beans and stock or water, stir well, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender and starting to thicken, about 2 hours. (Should the beans become too thick and dry, add more water, about 1/4 cup at a time.)
- Remove from the heat and with the back of a heavy spoon, mash about 1/4 of the beans against the side of the pot. Continue to cook until the beans are tender and creamy, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and remove the bay leaves.
- Serve over rice and garnish with green onions.
EMERIL'S NEW ORLEANS-STYLE RED BEANS AND RICE
"Oh yeah, this is it!" - are the words my husband declared when he tried this recipe for red beans and rice. He was craving New Orleans-style red beans and rice and I had never made it before- so this is the recipe I searched for and tried and it was delicious!! The kids thought it was great too. I only made a few small changes to Emeril's, like adding more sausage than the recipe called for and letting a smoked ham hock cook with the beans for the first two hours..other than that everything is the same. This is not a quick meal, but great for a lazy day at home.

AUTHENTIC NEW ORLEANS RED BEANS AND RICE
Just like mom makes. I recommend cooking the day before you want to eat it. It is a time-consuming recipe and the taste gets even better after 24 hours in the refrigerator. For extra spice, add a splash of hot sauce.

NEW ORLEANS STYLE RED BEANS
Our family version of the classic Monday dish in New Orleans. Historically, Monday was laundry day and, before modern washers, women needed a meal that could simmer on a low fire al day with minimal attention. The need is gone, but the tradition survives. To this day no self respecting neighborhood New Orleans restaurant would leave this off their Monday specials! Our family version kept the recipe simple which allows the flavor of the beans to come through. If you like you can also add garlic and bell pepper to the recipe. You can substitute andouille sausage, ham, or pickled meat for the smoked sausage if you prefer. In our house we serve it over a medium grain steamed rice, but this works with most rices.

Steps:
- Place beans, onion, parsley, thyme, water and celery into a large pot and bring to a rolling boil stirring occasionally.
- Reduce heat so that there is still a slight roll and continue occasional stirring until beans begin to soften and break up, adding water as needed.
- At this point add the sausage and, using a spoon (a relatively flat wooden spoon works best) gently mash the beans against the side of the pot and scrape the sides to release the mashed beans (this will help thicken the sauce).
- When the sauce has achieved a creamy consistency it is ready to serve. (depending on the freshness of the beans usually 1.5 to 3 hours) Serve over your favorite rice.
- Add the baking powder, blended in an ounce or two of water, just after cooking. This will cause the beans to foam up added. I find that adding this reduces the gas and bloating that beans can cause.

Tips:
- Soak the beans overnight: This will help them cook faster and more evenly.
- Use a variety of beans: Red beans, black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans are all good choices.
- Add some vegetables: Diced onions, celery, and bell peppers are classic additions to red beans and rice. You can also add other vegetables like carrots, corn, or okra.
- Use a flavorful broth: Chicken broth or vegetable broth are both good choices. You can also use water, but the broth will add more flavor to the dish.
- Season the beans well: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika are all essential seasonings for red beans and rice. You can also add other spices like cumin, chili powder, or cayenne pepper to taste.
- Cook the beans until they are tender: This will usually take about 1-2 hours. You can also use a slow cooker to cook the beans on low for 8-10 hours.
- Serve the beans over rice: White rice is the traditional choice, but you can also use brown rice or jasmine rice. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt to the top of the beans.
Conclusion:
Red beans and rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover beans and rice, and it is also a budget-friendly meal.
