Red Beans & Rice

Crock Pot Red Beans & Rice with Smoked Sausage and Ham

This recipe is so easy to make it's almost criminal. You just dump everything in a crock pot and come back 5 hours later to a delicious dinner.

1 lb	dried kidney beans
1	onion, chopped
3 stalks	celery, sliced thin
½ lb	your favorite smoked sausage
½ lb	ham, cut into bite sized pieces
1 tsp	granulated garlic
2	bay leaves
½ tsp	salt
½ tsp	thyme
½ tsp	black pepper
3 cups	water
4 cups	ham stock (chicken stock if you don't have ham stock)

Cull through the beans and pick out any weird ones or rocks. Add everything to a crock pot. Put the lid on and cook on high for 5 hours. Don’t stir it, don’t open the lid, and don’t touch it for the next five hours. Remove the bay leaves and serve over rice.
