Time 12h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound dried red beans
3 andouille sausage links
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups minced onions
1 cup minced green bell pepper
½ cup minced celery
4 bay leaves
1 slice ham steak, cubed, or more to taste
2 tablespoons Creole seasoning, divided
7 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
1 cup tomato sauce
2 teaspoons vinegar
½ cup chopped green onions, divided
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3 cups cooked rice, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place red beans into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand 8 hours to overnight. Drain.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat; cook sausage until cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer sausage to a work surface and slice.
  • Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onions, bell pepper, celery, and bay leaves until softened, about 5 minutes. Add sausage, ham, and 1/2 of the Creole seasoning; saute over medium-high heat until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Stir drained beans into sausage mixture.
  • Mix chicken broth, garlic, and remaining Creole seasoning into bean mixture; cover skillet and simmer on low for 3 hours.
  • Stir tomato sauce, vinegar, and 1/2 of the green onions into bean mixture, slightly smashing beans with a potato masher. Simmer, uncovered, until thickened and beans are tender, about 30 minutes more. Mix remaining green onions and parsley into beans and serve over cooked rice.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ham. I had some leftover ham from Easter dinner and I was looking for a way to use it up. This recipe was perfect. The ham added a lot of flavor to the beans and rice.
