 I like to use the Camellia brand red kidney beans (found at Walmart).
Soak dried beans in a bowl filled with water overnight.
Drain and rinse well in the morning.
Add beans to the Crock-pot.
 Chop all veggies and add to a food processor.
Pulse until finely diced and blended.
Optional: you can finely dice veggies by hand too.
I love the flavor and texture of Cajun pork tasso so I decided to add it chopped to my beans instead of using ham hocks.
Add veggies and chopped ham to the beans in the Crock-pot.
Cover with broth.
Add seasonings to the beans then cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours.
Add sliced smoked sausage to the beans and cook on low another 1-2 hours.
Creamy and delicious and ready to serve!
Cook white rice and serve beans in a bowl on top of hot rice. 
Garnish with green onions and add hot sauce if desired.
That’s some tasty Cajun comfort food!
