Thank you for sharing this truly Cajan version of Red Beans & Rice. I think there are so many thing one can add, but that is a personal preference and not essential. Sausage, ham, the trinity and time; what a great combination. Simple and straight forward.
It's kinda runny, but I know it's good. It's soupy tho. I'm from Louisiana. My ant-tee from bougalousa, living in Gramercy made hers creamy. My mama made hers soupy like this one And my daddy who is from North Louisiana put ground beef in his, which was sacreligous! But my mama red beans were the beat of all the NEXT DAY. Her gumbo was like that too. It tasted better the next day
Oh nice, I like em both ways. When I fix em I like to start off with a little more water. After they sit in the fridge they will loose some of the water content and start to dry out. Thanks for the nice comment. Have a Happy New Year.
Looks absolutely mouthwatering! My husband was born and raised in Baton Rouge. Since Cajun cooking is an art form, I'm really anticipating comparing what he taught me to how you create your Cajun creations. And of course I've subscribed!
hey dude for me as a native (and still resident) German this is the real thing ! Always having dreamed of coming over to the States since I was a young boy (55 y.o. now) I felt like "cajun style" is my thing. I'll try your recipe next summer in public at a Hot Rod meeting campfire to make my boys feel good. But before I'll check it out at home. Next weekend, promise !

Merry Cajun Christmas. Thank you. I didn't use 2 pounds of beans there's only 2 of us. I had some leftover ham I wanted to use, and I always have all the other ingredients on hand. It's a small electric bean pot. I put them up at night with water, brown sugar, salt, pepper, garlic, onion, bay leaf for a 6-8 hours until they are completely cooked and before they fall apart. The temp is very low. Just makes it easier and less time for me the next day when I assemble the recipe to have the beans already cooked. It's really delicious.
Not to confuse people but a mirepoix is onion, celery and carrot. What you're referring to in Cajun cooking with the onion, celery and bell pepper is referred to as the holy trinity. Don't want people hearing mirepoix and then they go and add carrots to their red beans and rice instead of bell pepper.
Onions, green bell pepper, and celery are Creole. The Cajuns found this combination used in cooking when they arrived in Louisiana from Nova Scotia. African slaves introduced Gumbo and Jambalaya to Louisiana colonists. Red Beans were introduced by Haitian refuges after the revolution. Every meaningful dish in Louisiana has African roots.
I followed the recommendation on the bag of beans then added one extra cup. I like my beans to have a sauce rather then dry. I use water. If I had chicken as my protein then I would have made chicken stock and used it. Thanks and Happy New Year.
On my very first day of college in NOLA, I went thru the chow line and they were serving RB&R as one of the entrees. It was a red (I mean RED) goop over rice. I passed, and went the next 3 years believing that RB&R was this nasty red stuff. A friend of mine's girlfriend , a local, had some of us over one night and made RB&R; I told her about my experience and she made me promise that I would taste hers. OMG!!! It was so good. From that day forward I have been a fan and ha e made a few times for myself. My wife, who I met in college in NOLA, doesn't like it because it has beans. (How I remain married is a mystery)
We grew up having RB&R on Mondays for lunch and/or dinner along with fried chicken, fried pork chops, or some hot sausage. Thanks for sharing your story. I would like to wish you and your wife a Happy New year, stay safe. The Cajun
I am not using as much background music anymore. I thought it would add to the video but it hasn't. We may use some during time lapse and bloopers but that's it. Thanks for the comment and Happy New Years.
Gotta use animal fat to get those sausage at the beginning or at least a high smoke point oil. that sausage has paprika and sometimes smoked paprika, it gets colour on it quick, less colour is better coz that sausage is burnt, the spices in it burn quick. Otherwise this is a boss dish, good slow patient cooking... Making something out of simple things, into a special dish, an event of a dish even.. Could sit centre table with sides 😎🙌
That looks fantastic! I would imagine you used andouille sausage, kielbasa from a Polish butcher (as opposed to store bought brand) works as well but you can't beat the Southern spiciness of the andouille. Liked and subscribed, have a great day as well as a great Holiday Season!
Looks wonderful! I'm hungry and I wish I had some of this on my stove! Will have to make, but without the spicy sausage. Will need to sub a milder sausage. Tabasco I can handle cause I can control the heat! I subscribed as well. Thank You!
Gumbo is made using a roux. Red Beans and Rice is not. Both dishes are made with similar ingredients less the beans but the techniques are different. Happy New Year.
Hello and thanks for the comment. Agreed, I would not let it cook that far. I think next batch I will cook with a lower temp. Hope you have a good day.
We like red beans but my wife and I prefer pinto beans too. We are cajuns from southwest Louisiana but we learned about pintos years ago from family in Texas
It looks simply divine! Subscribed immediately. Quick 2 questions: I am in Portugal. Are the beans canned or dried? And is Chouriço a good substitute for the sausage? Thanks for bringing a bit of Cajun back into my life!
I used dried for less sodium and Chourico will be fine for your protein. The good thing about Red Beans and Rice you can add a Protein to your liking. Happy New Year and thanks for the comment and Sub.
delicious! combination and that's always nice with rice ( perfect comfort good) the sausage could go less chared for my liking other than that keep them cajun recipes coming
Don’t forget to add a teaspoon of baking soda to your finished beans, saving yourself and family from embarrassing gas. Be sure to rinse your rice well before cooking it avoid additional stomach pains.
That's true, while they are similar and can be used interchangeably, Red Beans are smaller and brighter with a sort of oblong shape. Hope you have a Merry Christmas.
This was a wonderful video the music on the other hand didn't match 😩 please change the tunes if u do another Cajun video throw some jaz in there but other than that U MADE THIS LOOK BEYOND WONDERFUL 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽👌🏽🤗 I'ma go buy me a box of zatarans an freezer fried shrimp to throw in the air fry because now u made me hungry but I'm so lazy today 🤩🦸🏽♀️😁
Hello and thanks for the comment. I have moved away from the background music as I agree with you it is irritating when you're trying to hear what's being said. I mash beans along side the pot to create a thick sauce with my beans. Let me know if you have any more questions. Glad to help. Have a great weekend.
I had another comment about seasoning. I need to go back and look and see if I may have left it out. Thanks for the heads up. Hope you have a Happy New years.

Just an observation your heat is too high the sausage is burnt not browned. Mirepoix is French and has "carrots" along with the onion and celery. You have a "Trinty" which is Cajun instead of carrot its bell pepper. Looks good though!
Great point. I need to explain the difference. When I say rinse I mean rinse with water. When I say wash I mean scrubbing them with your hands in water. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I will do a better job conveying that in future videos. Hope you have a great day. Cajun
Thanks for the comment. I let em go a little too long. They looked worse then they tasted. I had to pull about six pieces out and had a snack. Hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season. The Cajun.
Why are mentioning creole when making red beans and rice. I guess if you put tomatoes in the red beans, you can call it creole. I've never used tomatoes when I make red beans and rice. I use the holt trinity, garlic and time. I may add cayane I will use both smoked sausage and andouille and throw in ham as well.
Red BEANS AND RICE is not a one-pot dish and the protein is usually placed on the side. However, if you have link sausage in the Red Beans and Rice it can be a one-pot dish. It could go both ways if you add tomato paste to the red beans. Thanks for the comment, Have a great day.

I made this recipe tonight. So incredibly delicious. I did precook the beans in my slow cooker bean pot.
How long did they slow cook for? Have a Merry Christmas.

Kroger sells bags of frozen mirepoix(onions, carrots, celery), the "holy trinity" version they call Cajun mirepoix.
@@kellyjay7448 Thank you, and Happy New Year.
You're almost correct "Holy" trinity has "garlic" in it with the onion, celery and bell pepper otherwise it's just Trinity.

African slaves introduced Gumbo and Jambalaya to Louisiana colonists. Red Beans were introduced by Haitian refuges after the revolution. Every meaningful dish in Louisiana has African roots.
Music was a bit too loud/voiceover a bit too low. Excellent recipe!
Thank you for watching the Red Beans and Rice video and letting me know about the audio. Hope you have a Happy New Year.
How much water? Did you use chicken stock or broth instead if water?? Need help, you skipped the part of how much liquid. Thanks, making today!

Turn the heat down. Cast iron enamel pans conduct the heat too well and you don’t meet to have the flame so high! Please turn it own a little.
