To begin with this recipe, we have to prepare a few components. You can have red beans and rice with smoked sausage using 12 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you cook it.

The ingredients needed to make Red beans and rice with smoked sausage:
  1. Make ready Cup diced celery
  2. Prepare Cup diced yellow onion
  3. Take Cup diced green pepper
  4. Prepare 4 large garlic minced
  5. Take Whole pack Cajun/smoked sausage sliced
  6. Get 32 oz chicken stock
  7. Get 4 Bay leaves
  8. Prepare 2 1/2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  9. Take 4 tbsp butter
  10. Get 2 cans red beans drained
  11. Make ready 6 tbsp flour
  12. Prepare Hot sauce to taste (I prefer crystal or zatarains)

Red beans and a ham hock slowly simmer with seasonings for maximum flavor. Smoked sausage is stirred in towards the end for a hearty, hot meal that's perfect when the cold winds blow. Stir in kidney beans, chicken broth, oregano, thyme and bay leaf. This is the best red beans and rice I have ever had, hands down.

Instructions to make Red beans and rice with smoked sausage:
  1. Add 4 tbsp butter and a glob of oil. Add veggies and sweat down until really soft, remove and set aside.
  2. Wipe pot down and add 2 tbsp of oil and sear sliced sausage until rendered then remove with slotted spoon and retain oil in the pan
  3. Add 4 tbsp butter to the pot and simmer lightly. Slowly add flour 1 tbsp at a time and make a dark chocolate roux. This method takes time and constant attention and whisking. If it starts to smell like slightly burned popcorn it's fine but if you have ever burned a roux then you will know it's time to start over.
  4. Add veggies and simmer until slightly thickened(5 to 10 minutes)
  5. Add chicken stock and stir until incorporated and then add sausage, beans, Cajun seasoning, bay leaves and bring to a simmer
  6. Simmer low covered but cracked, for about an hour and then check for seasonings, salt to taste but I only did a few grinds of salt (add 2 to 3 tbsp of hot sauce at this time)
  7. Lightly smash some beans and low simmer for another 15 minutes and serve.
  8. Serve with rice and top with green onions and crusty bread on the side

So flavorful and easy to make. I've been to New Orleans four times and have never had red beans and rice that compare. Side note, if you can get your hands on it, savannah sausage andouille is fantastic. The only other that I think compares is Registers in the panhandle of FL. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.
