Southern New Years Day tradition. Everyone has their own recipe. This is mine. The prep time includes soaking the peas overnight and the cook time could vary depending on where you live. I have also just thrown everything in a crockpot and let it cook for 8 hours. You can eat it any time, not just for New Year's. It freezes well for once a month cooking. -- posted by Malriah

This recipe was passed down from my Cajun grandmother to me. It makes A LOT of food, and freezes well. I love to make this dish because the aroma that fills my house reminds me of back home. This can be made in a large crockpot, but I recommend a large stewpot as it makes a lot of food. -- posted by Mama_Jennie

This is a hearty Southern dish, easy to make and full of flavor and quite spicy!

Posting this for ZWT 2006 (French, Cajun & Creole region). I absolutely love red beans & rice though I make it my own weird way and when I found this recipe, I had to try it. I played with the spices some as it was rather bland the original way. I serve this kind of gumbo style with a scoop of cooked rice put into the bowls before I add the soup. -- posted by JanetC-KY

New Orleans Style Red Beans & Rice

Fri, 09 May 2008 01:52:20 -0400

Over the years, (I would like to think that) I have mastered this New Orleans Favorite. After watching my mom cook red beans & rice for many years, I now cook them for my husband, his family, my co-workers, and friends. I apologize, up front, for the absence of certain measurements, but as you know, when cooking, sometimes we just eyeball it and then perform a taste test later. NOTE: I cook white beans the same way. -- posted by Cooking in New Orleans

My DH is from Louisiana and loves Cajun food. This is one thing I've learned to make pretty well (or so he says). I used to make it in the crock pot, but I prefer to make it on the stove top. I won't even begin to claim it's authentic, but we like it! Oh, and please don't use kidney beans! Small red beans and kidney beans are not the same. -- posted by Good Cook Wanda

Growing up in Louisiana and living in New Orleans ten years hooked me on red beans and rice. This is a recipe I've used for years but the first to enter online. It is a simple process I do on a Saturday or Sunday and freeze the leftovers for emergency comfort food. Seasoning is variable and estimated.

"the Gumbo Pages" Traditional Red Beans and Rice

Mon, 16 Mar 2009 15:31:10 -0400

This recipe comes from "The Gumbo Pages" and it's the best basic recipe I've come across. I tweaked it a bit to make it healthier by omitting the smoked meat and substituting liquid smoke and using the turkey sausage. I have put the traditional notes on the ingredients as well. It also has a very good Vegetarian version I will post. Once you have the basics, you can taste and tweak it to you and your family's tastes as the beans cook down. -- posted by CharlieGal

Crescent City Red Beans & Rice (Crock-Pot)

Fri, 22 May 2009 01:41:32 -0400

I grew up working in our family restaurants around New Orleans, which is known as "The Big Easy" or "The Crescent City" (due to the shape of the Mississippi River which runs through the heart of this southern city). Like most mom & pop places, we always served Red Beans & Rice on Monday. Always! I've changed the restaurant version a bit to reflect the fact that I use my Crockpot now. I hope you enjoy these yummy beans as much as I did growing up and as my own family now does. Serve over hot, fluffy white rice and a warm piece buttered and grilled French Bread with a side salad or bowl of coleslaw. Sweet iced tea rounds this awesome southern dish off quite nicely. -- posted by A Good Thing
