Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Rinse and soak the red beans overnight in water. Chop the onion, green bell pepper, celery, and garlic.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

  3. 3

    Brown the Meats

    Add the diced beef and sliced Andouille sausage to the pot. Cook until the meat is browned on all sides.

  4. 4

    Combine and Simmer

    Add the soaked red beans, bay leaves, Cajun seasoning, salt, black pepper, and water or broth to the pot. Stir well, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender.

  5. 5

    Cook the Rice

    In a separate pot, cook the rice according to package instructions using water or broth for added flavor.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once the beans are cooked, remove the bay leaves. Serve the red beans over the steamed rice with garlic bread on the side.
