SLOW COOKER RED BEANS AND RICE



Slow Cooker Red Beans and Rice image

This slow cooker version of New Orleans-style red beans requires about 20 minutes to toss together in the morning and can be ready to eat when you walk in the door after work. Creamy and comforting, it is traditionally flavored with a leftover pork bone, so if you happen to have one, feel free to throw that in instead of a ham hock. And if you have a favorite Cajun or Creole spice mixture on hand, use 1 heaping tablespoon of it in place of the sage, cayenne, garlic, onion and paprika powders, and taste before adding any salt, as seasoning blends contain a varying amount of sodium. Adding hot sauce at the end is key: The best kind to use is a vinegary, cayenne-based, Louisiana-style sauce, like Crystal, Louisiana brand or Tabasco. (Here is a vegan version of this recipe.)

Time 7h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 celery stalks, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
10 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 to 1 teaspoon ground cayenne, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground sage (optional)
1 pound dried red kidney beans, soaked overnight
3 dried bay leaves
3 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
12 ounces smoked pork sausage, preferably Andouille, sliced into 1-inch-thick coins
1 smoked ham hock (about 10 ounces)
Cooked rice, for serving
Sliced scallions, for serving
Louisiana-style hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium. Add the onion, season with salt, and cook, stirring, until the onion is limp and translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the celery and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the chopped garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne and sage (if using); grind in a generous amount of black pepper and add 3/4 teaspoon salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients, then remove from the heat and scrape the mixture into a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker.
  • Add the beans, bay leaves, thyme, sausage, ham hock and 6 cups water. Cook on high until the beans are very tender and creamy, about 7 hours.
  • If your beans are not bubbling at all by the time they are done cooking, turn the heat up to high and let them bubble for about 10 minutes, to make them easier to digest.
  • Before serving, add salt or cayenne to taste. Using a fork or the back of a spoon, mash some of the beans against the side of the slow cooker to make the mixture slightly creamy. (It will continue to thicken as it sits.) Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs; you can pick the meat off the ham hock if you like. Top the beans with hot cooked rice and scallions; serve with hot sauce.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality rice: Long-grain white rice is the best choice for this recipe. It cooks up fluffy and separate, and it can withstand the long cooking time without becoming mushy.
  • Rinse the rice before cooking: Rinsing the rice removes the starch, which helps to prevent it from sticking together. It also makes the rice less likely to foam when it cooks.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth is what gives this dish its flavor, so it's important to use a good one. Chicken broth, beef broth, or vegetable broth are all good options. You can also use a combination of broths.
  • Add some vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, color, and nutrients to this dish. Feel free to add any vegetables you like, such as diced carrots, celery, onions, or bell peppers.
  • Season the dish: Don't forget to season the dish with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Cook the rice on low heat: Cooking the rice on low heat helps to prevent it from burning. It also allows the flavors to develop more fully.
  • Let the rice rest before serving: Once the rice is cooked, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the rice to absorb the broth and become more flavorful.

Conclusion:

Redneck rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a busy weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover rice. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give redneck rice a try.
