This is my grandmothers Red Beans recipe.  I grew up with it using Treet as the meat added instead of smoked sausage.  Although it’s rather like Spam, it’s got a smokier flavor, and when rendered in the cooking liquid of the red beans it takes on a much more authentic smoked ham flavor and adds a really good flavor to the beans.<\/p>\n

1 lb dried kidney beans
1 onion
4 cloves garlic
1 stalk celery
1\/2 bell pepper
2-3 bay leaves
1 tbsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1\/2 – 1 tsp tabasco hot sauce.
1 lb Jacksonville andiouie sausage unless you can get it from new Orleans
2 cans treet – optional, it’s the way my grandmother did it, so I like it but if you don’t then use more sausage<\/p>\n

1. Rinse the beans under cold water and sort through for debris<\/p>\n

2. Place beans in large pot with about 10 cups of water. Boil for about an hour the drain and set the beans aside for a moment<\/p>\n

3. Dice onions, celery, bell pepper, and mince the garlic. Saut\u00e9 on medium high heat until the onions start getting translucent<\/p>\n

4. Add the red beans, salt, pepper and bay leaves to pot.<\/p>\n

5. Add about 8-10 cups of water to the pot and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer.<\/p>\n

6. slice the anduoille sausage and, if using Treet, slice into squares and add to the pot after about 30 minutes<\/p>\n

7. Simmer, stirring occasionally for about 2 -2 1\/2 hours, until the beans are tender.<\/p>\n

8. If the liquid is to thin, mush up about two to three large spoons of beans and add back and cook for about 15 minutes longer to thicken the liquid.<\/p>\n

9. Serve over rice with hot sauce, generally Tabasco<\/p>\n
