Title: Red Beans-N-Smoked Sausage
Post by: nepas on July 31, 2012, 10:32:04 AM: Making some red beans and smoked sausage today.

Got my beans rinsed.

In the pot with 10 cups water and seasoning. Broil then simmer for 3 hours.

Smoked sausage from the freezer. Going to slice and add to the beans the last 15 mins. Might make some rice still.

Post by: Ka Honu on July 31, 2012, 11:57:29 AM: Squirt's on the money about the rice but I never knew you could make red beads without trinity, garlic, ham hock, and tasso (and a couple of other secret ingredients). It must be possible, though - at least in parts of Georgia ('cause I can see the pictures).

Post by: teesquare on July 31, 2012, 03:08:38 PM: LOL....I was trying to figure out why you might use artichokes!!! I couldn't figure out that was chicken :D :D :D :D :D

Will check out the Mies breading powder!
Title: Re: Red Beans-N-Smoked Sausage
Post by: squirtthecat on July 31, 2012, 03:32:23 PM: Mies is always good to keep on hand. Great for breading, thickening soups/gravies, making 'fake fried' stuff, etc.

I made some super runny spaghetti sauce last night (forgot to buy tomato paste), so I added 2 T of Miles and simmered a bit. Problem solved.
Title: Re: Red Beans-N-Smoked Sausage
Post by: teesquare on July 31, 2012, 04:02:22 PM: Will have to give it a try! I see they have several varieties of it too....

Post by: Ron D on July 31, 2012, 05:29:11 PM: Liked that idea of Mies until I checked the link. Can not do MSG. Guess I will have to stick with Arrow Root, corn starch or what we called in the Navy Bull F#*k water and flour.
Title: Re: Red Beans-N-Smoked Sausage
Post by: teesquare on July 31, 2012, 05:35:26 PM: I am with you on the MSG Ron....*BUT* they have a version of it with no MSG - thought I would try that one.
Title: Re: Red Beans-N-Smoked Sausage
Post by: Ron D on July 31, 2012, 05:45:27 PM: I may join you on that if you want to split some of the 25 lb order.
Title: Re: Red Beans-N-Smoked Sausage
Post by: teesquare on July 31, 2012, 06:38:47 PM: Sure Ron! just let me know if you want to try it. I will wait to see if ACW3, and Greg S. - or anyone else in our area want to try it out.

Post by: TentHunteR on August 01, 2012, 09:07:44 AM: The red beans & rice look delicious! I really like the fine sausage grind with the course ground fat too. It gives a nice look to it.

No Mies breading for me. MSG = Bad JuJu for Cliffy! :(

...

Yup..oral meds..and diet.

The VA doc warned me about it last year.

I had a lot of issues related to the brain injury from the wreck..most of them got better.

Kept eating like I was working and put on some weight.

The good news is that after a month of meds and slowing down the chow my numbers are much better.

Sugar is averaging 130 and BP is 120/65/70.

Prolly gonna make some red beans and rice after seeing this....thanks buddy.. ;D

Here is my fav recipe..http://www.gumbopages.com/food/red-beans.html
