We're not from Louisiana, but we loved it. Hearty with a wonderful kick. Perfect for a cold winter day! So easy, and it was inexpensive. I fed 5 adults with plenty of leftovers for about $20.

Like one of the other reviewers, I just diced everything up and popped it into the slow cooker. I also used chicken broth in place of the water, subbed yellow pepper for the green pepper, and completely forgot the green onions. Didn't matter at all. Put it on low for 9-10 hours, made some rice, fished out the ham hocks, bay leaves, and mashed some of the beans for the creamier texture. Then poof, a wonderful meal.

I loved this recipe, but I used organic ham shanks ( more flavor & meat than hocks, organic low sodium chicken broth Instead of water, and I added salt, fresh cracked black pepper, oregano, and I used red bell peppers instead (can't digest green very well! I also sauted the onions,bell peppers,celery, and garlic before I added them to the pot. I added additonal 2 fresh garlic the last 10 minutes also.

Intended to followed the recipe exactly, but made small variations in the end. Substituted dried herbs for fresh. I cooked it in the crock pot because I have a toddler so I can't easily leave something unattended on the stove. It was delicious and simple. Perfectly spicy for a cool day.

Brown the sausage in a bit [1 oz.] of oil or lard to render out some flavorful fats. then sautee yourdiced trinity [bell pepper, celery, onion & garlic ] before adding to the soaked beans. Set aside and slice the cooked sausages into 1/4 inch rounds and add to beans after the spices go in along with any juices that fall from the sausages.

Also a teaspoon + of a good [home made] cajun seasoning spice in the salse will help along with the recipe's called for spices.

Sugestion:

2 T sea Salt
1 T. Garlic powder
1 T onion powder
1 T. dried thyme
1 T. Dried oregano
1 T. hot paprika
2 t. black pepper
2 t. White pepper
1 t.good smoked paprika

Make sure your bay leaves are fresh or freshly dried. I picked mine from the bayou while chasing gators in a pirogue . Outstanding freshness. Should be green not brown. Also very important, [tres necessaire ] a couple of heaping Tablespoons of freshly minced garlic cloves added along with the above spice mix would help make this dish... tres bon mange!

I made this using chicken broth, left out the ham hocks and used dried instead of fresh spices. Fresh onions, celery but dried bell pepper. I cut the andouille into thin quarters and put it in the pot from the beginning. Also left out pepper sauce and less cayenne. We don't like hot at all. It was so good! My family said it was the best they ever had. I will be making it again soon and will make enough to put in the freezer so we can pull it out anytime. Thanks Ty! This is great!

this is a good recipie but if you have children only use a pinch of cayenne pepper and use a slow cooker with chicken broth great food and cheap to make .
