[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1 bag of small red beans
1 onion, chopped
2-3 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 package of andouille sausage, chopped

Throw the beans in the Crock Pot with 5 cups of water. If you want, you can soak them the night before and dump them in the Crock Pot (with fresh water, not the soaking water) in the morning. Add in the chopped veggies. You say "flavorful but not spicy" so I'm going to try and guesstimate the amount of spices I'd use to get that level (I like mine spicy). For "flavorful but not spicy" I would throw in 2 tbsp of Tony Chachere's seasoning, maybe another tbsp of salt and a tbsp of black pepper. Cook this on high for about 4 hours, then taste to see if you need to add extra seasonings- the long cook times can subdue some of the spices. Add more of whatever if the beans taste too bland.

At the 4 hour mark, add in a package of Andouille sausage that you've chopped up. (Or kielbasa, or leave it out if you're vegetarian or want to make this super cheaply.) Cook another 2 hours or so and by the 6 hour mark, the beans should be nice and tender and fully cooked. Serve over rice, maybe garnish with some green onion if you're into that. [/quote]

This would need some chopped celery too, if you are looking for authentic red beans and rice.  Also a bay leaf or two.  To make it creamy, when all is done, mash up a cup or so of beans to a paste and put them back in and stir.[/quote]
