Red Beans and Rice

Red Beans and Rice

1 pound dry kidney beans or small red beans

1 pound smoked sausage, sliced

1 large onion, chopped

4-5 cloves of garlic, minced

4 stalks of celery chopped

1 green pepper, chopped

2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic

Creole seasoning

Hot Cooked Rice 

Soak the kidney beans overnight in water, boil beans for about an hour or until tender.  Let the beans simmer at least an hour by themselves. After the beans have softened up and are getting close to being done add the rest of the ingredients.  Simmer the beans, sausage and vegetables for about a half an hour longer, or until the beans are all the way tender. Serve over rice.
