Ingredients
Steps
Prepare the red kidney beans by soaking them in water overnight. Drain and rinse before using. If you forgot to soak overnight, use a quick-soak method by boiling the beans for 5 minutes and letting them sit for 1 hour.
Chop the onion, celery, and green bell pepper (the 'holy trinity'). Mince the garlic cloves.
Prepare the andouille sausage by slicing one link into rounds and cutting the second link into quarters for varied texture.
Add the soaked and drained beans, chopped vegetables, minced garlic, and sliced sausage into the crockpot.
Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth and 2 cups of water to the crockpot. This provides the 6 cups of total liquid needed for the beans to cook properly.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, and salt to the mixture.
Stir all ingredients thoroughly to ensure the seasonings and liquids are well distributed.
Cover the crockpot with its lid. Set the temperature to High and cook for 6 hours.
Once the beans are tender and the liquid has thickened into a flavorful gravy, serve the red beans over a bed of fluffy cooked long grain white rice.
Notes
For extra smoky flavor, you can substitute or add a smoked turkey leg or a ham hock to the crockpot. The author recommends a specific blend of 4 cups broth and 2 cups water, but you can use 6 cups of all broth if preferred. Ensure beans are fully submerged in liquid before starting.
