red beans.....

3 cups of beans (I soak mines over night)...it will expand so put it in a big pot when u are soaking it

1 stick of butter

ham hock

sausage (I buy the spicy sausage)

pickles meat and bacon

pickle ham (u can used any type of meats that u like)

1 small onion (cut into small piece)

4 stalks of celery (cut up into small pieces)

2 t of garlic power

1 t of sugar

1 T of worschester sauce

1 t of onion power

1 t of dried parsley

1 t of chili power

2 bay leaf

Fill a large pot up with h2o --I pour in a whole gallon ...then I just throw everything in the pot and cook on high until it gets boiling then I turned it to low and cook for about 4 hours...at the end I would smooch the beans again the pot so that it would get that creamy consistency

I like my sausage to have a grill taste so I cook the sausage separately
