Crockpot Red Beans And Rice

• 1 cup dried red beans
• 4 cups water, (or more if needed)
• 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Tabasco pepper sauce
• 1 cup chopped celery
• 1 1/2 cups chopped onion (or 1/4 cup onion flakes)
• 1 finely chopped green bell pepper
• 2 cloves chopped garlic (or a good dash of garlic powder)
• 1/2 pound spicy smoked sausage, sliced
• 2 cups diced ham
• salt and pepper to taste

Sort through your beans and add them to your crock pot along with the water. Cook on high for 4 to 5 hours or until the beans are tender. If you prefer, you can also cook the beans on low overnight. Just increase the water to 5 cups.

Add the seasonings, vegetables and meat. Cook on low for another 4 hours or on high for 2 hours. You may need to add a little more water if the mixture gets to thick.

Serve with cooked white rice.
