1/2 cup chopped celery
2 tablespoons minced garlic
8 ounces andouille sausage, cut into 2 ounce links
2 bay leaves
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 ham hock
1 pound red beans, soaked and drained
9 cups chicken stock
2 cups cooked white long grain rice, warm
Garnish

directions
In a stock pot, saute the onions, celery, and garlic for 1-2 minutes. Add the sausage, bay leaf, black pepper, thyme, cayenne, and salt, saute for 2-3 minutes. Add the ham hock and beans. Cover the mixture with the stock. Bring up to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook the bean mixture for 2 hours or until the beans are tender.
Mash 1/4 of the mixture against the side of the pot with a spoon. Re-season with salt and pepper if needed. Remove the ham hock and slice the meat off the bone. To assemble, spoon the warm rice onto the serving bowl. Ladle the bean mixture right over the top.

I live in New Orleans...land of the great red beans...and I have NEVER tasted beans this good in my life. My only modification to the recipe is that I cooked them in a crock pot. No need to mash any beans because, after cooking them overnight and then some, they were as creamy as creamy can be.

I prepared this dish for my family one evening when it was good and raining outside and they absolutely loved it. The wonderful smoky flavor is the beans was excellent. I will use this recipe time and time again.

If you like 'Red-Beans and Rice' from Popeyes Chicken...you will love this. I substituted the ham hawk and sausage(didnt have either at home) with left overs of a good quality smoked bone in ham. Everyone LOVED it.
