How To Make authentic, louisiana red beans and rice

1
Place the beans and water into a slow cooker.

2
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the sausage in the skillet; remove from the skillet with a slotted spoon and transfer to the slow cooker. Reserve the drippings.
3
Add onion, green pepper, jalapeno pepper and garlic to the drippings; cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes.
4
Transfer everything from the skillet to the slow cooker.
5
Season the mixture with pepper and Creole seasoning.
6
Add the smoked ham hock. Cover and cook on low for about 8 hours, or until beans are tender.

If the bean mixture seems too watery, take the lid off the slow cooker and set heat to High to cook until they reach a creamy texture.
