List of Ingredients



• 2 lbs dried red kidney beans.
  
• 3-4 finely sliced cloves of garlic
  
• 1/4 cup minced onion
  
• 1 bunch parsley (chopped)
  
• 3 lbs of good smoked sausage, cut into 2 inch lengths
  
• salt and pepper to taste
  
• 3 quarts of cold water
  






Instructions



1. Soak beans in water overnight.
   
2. The next day, drain beans from water. Add beans to a large 8-10 quart pot. Add enough cold water to completely cover the beans. Add garlic and onion and bring to a boil.
   
3. Cook 1 hour, then add parsley and sausage. Add more water if needed.
   
4. Simmer for 2 more hours until beans are soft. Remove 2 cups of beans and mash up really soft, then return beans to the pot and stir into the mixture. Mix well.
   






Final Comments


Serve over rice with a salad and some french bread on the side. Tastes amazing, but makes a ton. I don't recommend freezing it, so just have some people over for dinner or something. :)
