This was SO GOOD!!! The flavor combo with all the spices was perfect!! I didn't have enough dried garlic so I used fresh, and thats the only change!!! My ham hock had a ton of meat so I cut back on the sausage some. For newbies, and it's not stated in the recipe, you have to pull your ham hock out near the end and cut off the meat, discard the bones and put the chopped meat back in with the beans. Great recipe!!!!

After several failed attempts at cooking dry beans, I achieved success with this recipe (probably more technique than this specific recipe, but I followed these directions exactly). The whole family loved it, which was a nice suprise.

Great recipe!! I did soak the red beans overnight, and I didn't have a ham hock, but other than that, I made this recipe as written. We all enjoyed this very much!!

The spice mix for this is excellent. The beans taste so delicious as leftovers!

Loved this! I've been making red beans and rice for years but have never used the ham hock. Great addition. Will always do that from now on.

This dish was relatively simple. I made mine in a crock pot and added sausage and a little bacon rendered for flavor. When I served it to my family they devoured it! I was super impressed because we have a cajun background so I knew I was "competing" with some seriously heavy hitters in the red beans and rice department. Thanks CLFGRL!! Yours rocks!!
