Ingredients

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground Black Pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground White Pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon Mustard Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried Oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 4 ounces Andouille Sausage cut into 1/2-inch dice
  • 1 cup diced Onion
  • 1/2 cup diced Celery
  • 1/2 cup diced Green Bell Pepper
  • 2 teaspoons minced Garlic
  • 2 Bay Leaves
  • 2 cans Red Beans rinsed
  • 3 to 4 cups Waters as needed
  • 1 tablespoon Chicken Base or 2 Chicken Bouillon Cubes
  • 1 tablespoon BBQ Sauce, store bought or homemade, of choice (See Box Below for Links to Recipes)
  • 1 teaspoon Hot Sauce of choice
  • 2 cups cooked White Rice

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine thyme, chili powder, black pepper, white pepper, mustard powder, paprika, oregano and salt. Mix. Set aside.
  • Place a Dutch oven over medium heat.
  • Add sausage. Sauté for 3 to 5 minutes. Don't use any oil for this step.
  • Add onion, celery, bell pepper, garlic and bay leaves. Cook for another 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Add the prepared seasonings while cooking the vegetables. Stir to combine thoroughly.
  • When the vegetables are done cooking, add the red beans and just enough water to cover the beans. Mix.
  • Add chicken base, BBQ sauce and hot sauce. Stir to combine.
  • Raise the heat and bring the liquid to a boil. Turn the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring every 20 to 30 minutes. Add a bit more water if the beans get too thick. The red beans are ready to eat when they have thickened slightly and made their own gravy.
  • Remove the bay leaves.
  • Serve hot over the cooked rice.
