New Orleans Style Crock Pot Red Beans

New Orleans Style Crock Pot Red Beans Rice recipe has all the flavors of your favorite creole food. Spicy Andouille Sausage adds so much flavor to dried red kidney beans.

Do you love the spicy flavors of Louisiana? I can’t help but love the delicious spicy flavors myself.

I have always wanted to visit New Orleans. The passion, beauty and down right wildness of the history of it all has enthralled me for years.

I read absolutely every book I can get my hands on that is about Louisiana or is set in or around New Orleans.

I love all types of spicy food and New Orleans style food is packed full of spicy flavors. One recipe you will find on many tables in the bayou is red beans and rice. Another is Creole Jambalaya.

Canned red beans are fine in a pinch but when you have time making dried beans is so worth it.

This New Orleans Style Crock Pot Red Beans recipe starts out with high quality dried red kidney beans that are slow cooked for hours in a crock pot. The red kidney beans are tender and packed full of flavor from cooking with diced and chopped onion, peppers, celery and garlic.

Thanks to the Andouille sausage your bowl of crock pot red beans and rice will satisfy those Louisiana cravings.
