This was easy and delicious! I was unable to find andouille sausage at my neighborhood grocery store, so I used "cajun sausage", which was a bit salty. Next time I will search for the andouille sausage, or add some smoked ham or turkey. Overall, the beans and rice had a wonderful flavor... I served this with fresh out of the oven cornbread. I will definitely be making this again!

These were excellent! I drained water beans had soaked in. Sautéed veggies slightly in 1T butter and cut Creole seasoning back to 1 1/2 tablespoons. After putting beans, sautéed veggies and seasoning into slow cooker I added about 5 cups of fresh water just to cover. Used smoked turkey sausage instead of andouille and added it after about 3 hours to keep it from getting overdone.

<p>I am one of the early members of Zaar joining in October 2001. It was instantly my favorite site even though there were only about 5000 recipes. Back then the original owners Troy and Gay ran the site and they had a lot of interaction with the members. I miss them. <br /> <br />Through the years it still remains to this day my favorite go to site and the one that I send all of my friends and family to when they need anything.</p>
