Red Beans and Rice

Red Beans and Rice recipe from my sister, Allison

For seasoning:

1 tablespoon oregano
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons kosher salt

Mix together.

For beans:

1 package dry red beans
water to cover
4 tablespoons dehydrated onions
1 lb. cooked italian sausage *smoked turkey sausage was yummy and I only used 1/2 lb. OR you could omit completely for a meatless meal
24 oz. tomato sauce

Directions:

The night before, put your beans, water, onions and 2 tablespoons seasoning in the crockpot. Cover and let sit all night.
In the morning, add 1 more tablespoon seasoning, stir and turn on high to cook.
Cook at least 6 hours or until beans are done.
Add tomato sauce and sausage. Cook at least another hour. Serve over rice
