....that I've made from scratch.

I'm not a big rice fan, but love beans. So, to stretch that limited
income dollar, I'm making red beans and rice. So we don't get off on
another stupid red vs kidney bean tangent, I bought and used beans
labeled "red kidney beans". 'nuff said....

I'm using chuck tagart's recipe from the gumbo pages. All this time I
thought he was a working chef. I was wrong. He's a freakin' disc
jockey and wannabe southern gentleman. In short, a flim-flam man! Oh
well, I've always found his recipes to be excellent, so I went with it.

http://www.gumbopages.com/food/red-beans.html

I had some andouille sausage, but discovered they were a)
turkey/chicken shit, and b) spoiled, after only two days outta the
freezer. Nevermind. I hate chicken/turkey based faux crap meat,
anyway.

I had a big ol' ham hock and all fresh trinity veggies, so that's
good. I also had some leftover elk summer sausage, which is very
flavorful. I added that instead of andouille, which I can't do-ie, cuz
I un-douilled it into the trash.

I got about 2 hrs of simmer time left, then will put in fridge till
tomorrow when I cook up some long grain white rice and give 'er a try.
I'll get back to y'all on the 'morrow.

********************

I'm with you on the type of beans. Kidney beans are red and they work

I like the Gumbo Pages site. ("What's a grit?" LOL) Good recipes even if
the folks aren't cooks. Andouille sausage isn't easy to find on the left
coast.

We have Aidells Sausage out West. He's a boutique sausage maker known
for his chicken/apple sausage (caliphonyia yuk), but makes a killer
andouille I can get here at Safeway.

A Louisiana man fed me the first elk I ever had. I love red beans and
rice. I like to remove a big cup of beans and broth after they cook,
mash it up, and stir it back into the pot to make the beans rich and
creamy.

Red beans and rice is a good winter recipe. You can skip the rice
altogether if it's an especially good batch.

I tried that once, from Popeye's chicken. As much as I love beans and also
rice and even beans and rice mixed together, I did not like the seasonings
in there and could not eat it. I tried cooking Cajun stuff. Husband lived
in Louisiana for a while and loves the food. My mistake might have been in
buying an assortment of seasonings from Chef Paul Prudhomme and also a
cookbook to go with. No matter what I tried from it, he hated it.

Well it's possible that mine were made wrong. They did come from the little
place at Travis AFB and it has been my experience that those food places
don't necessarily have the full menu there. But Smokey isn't a flavor I am
overly fond of. I don't remember them being Smokey. Just highly seasoned
and somewhat overcooked.

Aidells has gone national. Or at least bicoastal.

If you can not find small red beans, use pinto beans.

Different flavor but nothing wrong with pintos and rice! I just made a
pot of them on high for 6 hours (crockpot) then low for 12 and had 2
ham hocks om there.

I pretty much have refried beans execpt too liquid for that actual term.

My usual is Cuban style (Moros y Cristianos), black beans and rice. I
prefer black beans for refried beans too. I also like black bean
soup.

A good dish, I agree! Pintos was what i had on hand at the time so
made that and now have several meals worth tucked away.

Pintos are good too. When highly seasoned it's really not possible to
tell which bean unless you open your eyes.
