Red Beans And Rice

• 1 pound small red beans, dried
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2-4 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 15-oz cans petite diced tomatos
• 1 can diced tomatos and green chiles
• 1 pound andouille sausage, sliced 1/4 inch thick
• 1 cup diced or shredded cooked chicken or turkey
• 1 cup diced or shredded smoked ham (or 2 hamhocks)
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or cayenne
• 2-3 dashes hot pepper sauce (preferably Pick-a-Peppa)
• 4 cups cooked white rice, for serving
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

1. Soak beans overnight in water; drain and rinse.
2. Put beans in stock pot with enough water to barely reach the top of beans. Add tomatos, tomatos and chiles, paprika, pepper, seasoned salt and cooked chicken. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, and lower heat to medium low.
3. Saute onion in olive oil over medium heat until soft. Add sliced andouille and saute over medium high heat until beginning to brown. Add ham and saute until meats are browned. Add to stockpot.
4. Simmer over medium low heat until beans are completely done, about two hours. Can hold over low heat for hours longer. Serve in large soup bowls over a mound of white rice, with a good crusty bread or old-fashioned cornbread on the side.
