Preparation

Step 1

Cover red beans with twice the volume of water. Bring to a boil for 10 min. then remove from heat. Cover and let stand for 1 hour, then drain.

Combine all ingredients except the rice and sausages into a crock pot. Set crock pot on high for 6 hrs. stirring occasionally. Mash some of the red beans each time you stir.

When the red beans have thickened to a past-like consistency, they are ready.

Slice sausages long ways and fry in a skillet until charred on the inside. Serve beans and sausages over hot cooked white rice.
