Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Beans
Soak the red kidney beans overnight in water. Drain and set aside.
Cook the Sausage
Add the sliced andouille sausage to the pot and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Add Garlic and Spices
Stir in the minced garlic, thyme, cayenne pepper, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
Combine with Broth and Beans
Pour in the chicken broth and add the soaked red beans. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
Simmer
Cover the pot and let the mixture simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beans are tender. Stir occasionally and add more broth or water if necessary.
Serve
Remove the bay leaves. Serve the red beans and sausage mixture over cooked white rice.
