Directions
Soak rinsed red beans according to package instructions and drain.
In a large saucepan, add all ingredients except meats, bay leaves and cooked rice, stir and bring to a boil. After reaching the boiling point, reduce heat to simmer and cover, stir occasionally.
After beans have cooked for about 2 1/2 hours, use a spoon to mash about two tablespoons of the beans, add meats, bay leaves and stir. Cook an additional 2 hours covered or until the beans are tender and creamy, stirring occasionally.
Add more water if the consistency is too thick.
When the beans are done remove the bay leaves.
Serve over cooked rice.
