Red Beans-n-Rice

On a whim, I tried making this and it turned out much better than expected! And what makes it better? You can make it in the crockpot!

Red Beans-n-Rice

Ingredients
1 lb. red beans soaked and rinsed
1 meaty ham bone
1 green pepper chopped
1 medium onion chopped
3 celery stalks chopped
1-2 lbs. smoked sausage
1 tablespoon of Creole seasoning
1 teaspoon of red pepper flake
3 cups of chicken stock
3 cups of water
Salt & pepper to taste

**You'll also need cooked rice. I just whip up instant rice on the stove when the beans are almost ready to serve!

Directions
Slice sausage into bite-sized pieces and brown in a skillet on the stove

Drain off any grease and set aside
Rinse beans thoroughly and pour into crockpot
Add water and chicken stock to beans
Add chopped vegetables (green pepper, onion & celery)
Add sausage
Add remaining seasonings (Creole, red pepper, salt & pepper)
Cook on high for 7-8 hours

To serve, scoop cooked rice into bowl and ladle red beans over rice
DE-LIC-IOUS!
