Red Beans and Rice

Well, after the botched meal yesterday, I decided I needed to redeem myself today and since I had the day off, I made a huge crock-pot full of red beans for dinner tonight. I must compliment myself and say they turned out pretty yummy. I did not make them as spicy as last time (which was a bit sad for the hubby and me, but this meant the girls actually ate them up and we can always add a little hot sauce to spice it up!). This time I used some chicken andouille sausage, leftover ham, and some sweet Italian sausage. They simmered all day and made the house smell spicy and delicious. Tonight for dinner, all I had to do was steam up some rice for dinner. Well, I made some garlic bread with my leftover French bread too. I might post my recipe some time. Red Beans and Rice is one of my favorite Southern meals and something I miss about Mississippi.
