Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the dried beans in a large bowl, cover with 2 inches of water, and let them soak overnight (at least 8 hours). Drain before using.

  2. 2

    In a large Dutch oven, brown the sliced smoked sausage over medium heat for 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    In the sausage fat, sauté the chopped onion, bell pepper, and celery until softened and lightly browned.

  4. 4

    Add the soaked beans, ham hock, stock, and Cajun seasoning. Bring to a rapid boil, then reduce heat to a low simmer.

  5. 5

    Cover and simmer gently for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Return the cooked sausage to the pot for the last 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Once beans are tender, mash about 1/4 of them against the side of the pot to create a thick, creamy gravy. Serve over rice.
