Best 9 Extremely Easy Louisiana Homestyle Redbeans And Sausage Recipes

LOUISIANA RED BEANS WITH SMOKED SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Place the beans in a large pot. Sift through the beans with your hands picking out any gnarled or bad beans or any loose pebbles or detritus that may have gotten into the package. Cover the beans with cold water (4-6 cups) cover the pot and let sit overnight to reconstitute.
• Drain the beans and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
• Turn the Instant Pot to Sauté mode and cook the bacon until crispy and fat has rendered. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
• Add the chopped onion, celery, bell pepper, garlic and 1 cup of sliced green onions to the bacon fat and saute for 5-8 minutes or until the vegetables have softened. Stir in the Louisiana seasoning and cook for one minute until fragrant.
• Add the sausage and beans and stir to combine. Pour the chicken broth over the bean mixture and add enough water so that the liquid just covers the beans and vegetables. Add the bay leaf and seal the Instant pot. Set to pressure cook for 15 minutes. Let the pressure in the pot release naturally.
• Ladle out about 2-3 cups of red beans into a bowl (return any chunks of sausage to the Instant Pot).
• Mash or blend the beans in the bowl until they have a smooth, creamy consistency. You can achieve this with a potato masher or pressing the back of a fork against the cooked beans in the bowl, or by transferring the beans to a mini food processor or blender.
• Add the mashed beans back to the rest of the beans and sausage with the chopped parsley and remaining green onion and stir to combine.
• Serve the beans with reserved crispy bacon, extra parsley and scallions, hot sauce and white rice.

Steps:

• Slice the Richard's Beef and Pork Sausage into medium-thin slices.
• Put the sliced sausage into a 3-4 quart pot and brown on low to medium heat. Add the 2 Tbs. of Tony Chachere's Seasoning when sausage begins to simmer and stir. Allow the sausage to brown and crisp, but be careful not burn! Stir regularly until the sausage has browned properly. Do not drain the remaining oil.
• While the sausage is browning, open both cans of Blue Runner Cream Style Red Beans and put aside until the sausage is browned to your satisfaction.
• Lower your heat to lowest setting and add the 1/2 cup of warm water and both cans of red beans to the sausage.
• Add 1 teaspoons Dry Italian Seasoning, 1 teaspoons Ground Pepper and the optional 1/2 teaspoons of Salt and stir well. Pay attention to make sure nothing is sticking to the bottom of the pot.
• Increase the stove heat to just above the lowest setting, cover and allow to simmer for 30 minutes. Make sure to check and stir every few minutes. If too much liquid has evaporated, add a little warm water and stir.
• Serve over white rice or dirty rice in a 2:1 ratio (Twice the amount of red beans to white rice portion).
• Note: You can substitute Richard's brand sausage with Savoie's brand easily, but if neither is available, you'll have to trust your instincts on what type to get. Most people in Louisiana know and love Blue Runner's brand of home-style beans, so if it isn't available in your area, you can try to substitute with another brand. Chances are it won't taste as good, and you'll have to mash and season the beans more. Local Louisiana Wal-Mart stores should carry Blue Runner, though.
• For an added kick you can use "hot" flavored sausage instead of regular.
• Refrigerate or freeze left-overs. When reheating, add a small amount of water.
