Ingredients

  • 6 cup chicken stock

  • 1 tbs olive oil

  • 1 lb smoked sausage (sliced ¼ in rounds)

  • 2 tbs butter

  • 1 onion (finely diced)

  • 1 bell pepper (finely diced)

  • 1 stalk celery (finely diced)

  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)

  • 1 ham hock

  • 1 tsp Tony Chachere’s Supreme Crab Boil

  • 1 tbs Tony’s Spices & Herbs

  • 1 tbs Tony Chachere’s Spices N’ Herbs

  • 2 bay leaves

  • Rice for serving

  • Parsley for garnish

Directions

  1. Place beans in a large bowl and fill with water 1 inch above the beans. Let soak overnight. Strain, rinse and set aside.
  2. In a Dutch oven, add olive oil and brown sausage for 5 minutes.
  3. Add in butter, onions, bell pepper, and celery. Sauté for 4 minutes. Add in garlic and saute for an additional minute.
  4. Add in beans, chicken broth, ham hock, seasonings, bay leaves, and thyme. Mix until well combined and bring to a boil.
  5. Reduce to a simmer and cover. Allow to cook for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Stirring occasionally.
  6. Using a spoon or masher, slightly smash the beans. This will allow it to get creamier. Cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes.
