Red Beans & Rice

Red beans are a great meal you can prepare easily while at work.  All you need is a slow cooker and a few ingredients.  If you can get your hands on some Camellia red beans, they are the best.

Ingredients:
1 lb. of dry kidney beans
1 onion
2 stalks of celery
cayenne pepper
garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
8 cups of water

First, start with dry red beans. Soak the beans in water overnight.  Drain the water out and pour the beans into the slow cooker.

Chop the onion and celery and pour it over the beans.  Then season with cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

Cut the sausage into pieces.  Add it to the dish.

Finally, add the water and turn the slow cooker on high.  Let cook for eight hours.

Serve red beans over a bed of rice.
