 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!

🍜 We had so much fun celebrating Lunar New Year last weekend with dinner at @pho_85_noodle_house_llc in Bentonville, AR! The Banh Mi sandwich and Beef and Seafood Pho soups were filled with fresh ingredients and flavor packed. As you can see their portions were huge so it's a great place to share! We also tried an appetizer sampler, Thai Tea, Coconut Boba Smoothie (my girls' favorite) and macarons for dessert. Everything was made to order and delicious. The staff was kind and helpful. If you live near by, check them out and #eatlocall ! ❤️ @visitbentonville #Bentonville  #pho85noodlehouse #arkansasfoodie #whatsfordinner #arkansasblogger #supportlocal #bentonvillearkansas #lunarnewyear #chinesenewyear
