Easy Slow Cooker Red Beans and Rice

yellow onion, diced

garlic cloves,

olive oil

paprika

tsp cajun seasoning

thyme

rib of celery, diced

green bell pepper, diced

beans

12-16 oz of Andouille sausage, sliced into half inch pieces

bay leaf

chicken broth

Red wine vinegar

Salt and pepper

Blackened Seasoning (optional)

rice

Combine diced onion, minced garlic, oil, paprika, cajun seasoning and thyme in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 5 minutes, stirring every 90 seconds. Add mixture to the slow cooker.
Add diced celery, diced green pepper, drained beans, sausage, bay leaf and chicken broth to the slow cooker.

Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 hours or on LOW for 4 hours. Remove the lid and stir. Add a splash of red wine and then salt and pepper and blackened seasoning to taste.

This was one of my favorite red beans and rice recipe I have tried. I used dried beans since that is what I had on hand. To compensate after I soaked the dried beans, I put in about 1/2 cup extra broth, I did not microwave the onion with seasonings first, I just threw them in the crockpot raw, and I left them on low all day, 7am till 5pm. The beans were perfect and mushy like I like them. I also added in a ham bone for some extra flavor since I had that just sitting in my freezer from Christmas. Definitely will be making this again, but probably add in even more broth, if I use dried beans again, since it was kind of dry for my liking.
