Very tasty, but will increase the golden raisins by 50% next time I make it- they tended to get lost among all the nutty goodness!

I've been cooking for quite a while, but being from the Midwest, had never quite understood the appeal of red beans and rice until I tried this recipe! Wow- it instantly went on my family's repeat list! I did modify it slightly- I couldn't get andouille sausage, so I used a smoked polish sausage and added a hamhock. I also altered the cooking time to adapt it to a slowcooker. I cooked it ~5 hours on high (until the beans were starting to get nice and soft), then added the sausage, and cooked another hour. Yum!
