For a vegetarian version, skip the ham hock and sausage and use smoked paprika to impart a smoky flavor. Soaking the red beans overnight can reduce the cooking time. Adjust the amount of Creole seasoning and hot sauce to your preferred spice level.

A soulful dish steeped in Louisiana tradition! These red beans and rice are simmered low and slow with smoked ham hock and savory sausage. Ideal for making ahead, as the flavors meld beautifully overnight, creating an even richer, more comforting experience.
