Slow Cooker Red Beans & Sausage image

Being from Louisiana, my go-to comfort food is red beans and rice. The Crock-Pot makes it so easy and the recipe reminds me of Sunday family dinners going back generations. Serve it as a slow-cooker side dish or make it a meal with hot buttered corn bread. -Lisa Bowie, Las Vegas, Nevada

I used smoked sausage in this recipe and it added a great flavor. I would definitely recommend using smoked sausage if you can find it.

I made this recipe in a Dutch oven on the stovetop and it turned out great! I would recommend this method if you don't have a slow cooker.

This recipe was too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper.

I've tried this recipe several times and I've never been able to get the beans to cook through. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.
