ok got to add my 2 cents in here LOL You did great Bev, looks awesome BUT now you have got to try black eye peas cooked with ham pieces and put juice and beans and ham in bowl over rice and add raw onion on top totally awesome 🙂
You did this exactly right Bev!!! I'm in a southern desert in lower 48 and this is how it's done! Except we down here use pinto beans! Try them! You'll love them! ❤️
I was raised in Louisiana and we had red beans and rice all the time! you did great! now make you some gumbo!

more water for the beans and onions
Your hubby does not seem like a fussy eater .:-)
I love it that you tried and liked the red beans and rice. I'm from the south, but I never had rb&r until I visited a friend in New Orleans. There was a little joint (bar) called Buster's that gave you a plate of beans and rice and a hunk of french bread for 60 cents (this was about 1972-3). They were wonderful. The best beans IMHO are always cooked with ham and/or sausage, and come out nice and creamy with enough gravy to pour over the rice. Another thing I've learned is to have a salad with a vinaigrette or italian dressing with them. I like to put the salad on the plate next to the beans and rice. There's just something about the taste of that vinegar with the beans that's fabulous. I think that's probably why I like to use tobasco on my beans rather than sriracha (which I love) or one of the "Louisiana" hot sauces. Tobasco seems to have more of the vinegar taste. Another thing I learned years back was not to salt the beans until they are completely tender – salt supposedly toughens the skin of the bean and they will take longer to cook. I've read that red beans and rice are a traditional Monday (wash day) dish in New Orleans from many, many years ago.
Wait for it, waiting, when you see that thumb up you know it's good 🙂
Just have to report back and share that I made this for dinner tonight and it was a hit. First time I have made beans and I liked' them! LOL 🙂

Crack those bones and reuse them – extract all the nutrition and calcium.
WOW !!! I'm Latin American . We eat red beans and rice almost every single day ! I've never thought of cooking them in a crock pot !!!! You just saved me A LOT OF TIME !!!! I'm going to try it your way !!! Looks so YUMMY ! cool beans Mrs Volfie !!!!! Irene
ohhh now I wanna start a pot but already have chops thawing…maybe I'll just mix the two and let it ride 🙂 sooooo tasty!!! and as long as papa is happy everyone is happy lol love and blessings hun
Oh yes maam, that looks amazing Bev., now you can add sausage too instead of ham hocks, really good. Hope you are having a wonderful evening, hugs xxx
Red rice and beans with hamhocks…delicious! Thanks for sharing!
Red beans and kidney beans are different. Both taste fabulous though. This dish warmed my heart. 🙂
A shot of Tabasco Chipolte sauce is just the right amount of heat for us in the beans.
I don't use a crock pot, but cook it on top of the stove.Try it with pinto beans instead of red beans. I always start a pot of them with chopped celery, onion and green pepper, after the beans have soak for a while. Then I put a smoked ham hock down in the beans and let them cook on low all day.
Just a tip next time when the beans are cooked take out about a cup maybe more mashed them til they look like mush add them back to the pot stir let simmer you will have a rich thhick gravy so good! You did great for your first time
Looks and smells delicious (at least I can imagine way down in Florida)
I'll have to admit here in Tennessee growing up most of the rice I ate was sweet rice. Had butter, sugar (or honey) and cinnamon in it. Ate it for dessert. Moved to Charleston, SC. And ate rice in everything and rarely even cooked potatoes, lol. My favorite would have to be smoked sausage, bell pepper, onion and rice (on a special day shrimp and scallops thrown in) Yum Yum!
I love red beans and rice. Thanks for posting.
Um yummy, I will try the French Vanilla Coffee iced.
We need cooling drinks in the summer, this coffee sounds great.
Thanks as always for the great videos.
