Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Soak dried beans overnight if not using canned.
  2. If using canned, drain and rinse well
  3. Rinse, cover dry beans with water in pot and cook boiling till tender but not mushy about 45 minutes to an hour
  4. Meanwhile saute the onion, pepper, celery and then garlic till veges are softened and translucent in some oil and set aside
  5. Drain liquid from cooked beans , add sautteed veges to the pot along with the sliced sausage ( omit if vegetarian ) , bay leaf and cover all with fresh water
  6. Bring to a boil again and then cook and simmer at a low bubble several hours until beans get creamy, stirring often to avoid beans from burning on bottom
  7. If the beans are not getting creamy one may use a hand blender and blend the mixture creamy ( remove the bay leave ) which was I did for both the dried and trhe canned recipes
  8. Adjust seasoning as you cook: adding what you like such as hot sauce, worchestershire sauce, liquid smoke etc.
  9. The beans are best if made ahead and reheated
  10. If needed, thin out cold beans if too thick with a bit of water
  11. Correct seasonings if needed
  12. Serve beans over hot cooked white rice
  13. Note: if using the canned beans, one does not need to cook as long as if using the dried beans
