Preparation

1. Prepare the Beans

Rinse the red beans and soak them in water overnight. Drain and set aside.

2. Cook the Bacon

In a large pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.

3. Sauté the Vegetables

Add onion, green bell pepper, celery, and garlic to the pot. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

4. Combine Ingredients

Add the drained beans, water, ham hock, andouille sausage, bay leaves, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil.

5. Simmer

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours or until beans are tender. Stir occasionally and add water if needed.

6. Cook the Rice

In a separate pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until rice is tender.

7. Prepare the Biscuits

Make your favorite biscuit recipe or use store-bought. Bake according to instructions.

8. Serve

Remove the ham hock from the beans, shred the meat, and return it to the pot. Serve red beans over rice and garnish with crumbled bacon. Enjoy with biscuits on the side.
