[BreakfastSurreal]

ingredients:
1lb dry red kidney beans
1lb smoked beef sausage
1 pot of cooked rice, brown or white
lots of salt pepper and butter to taste

rinse and soak the beans over night in a pot of cold water

rinse beans again in the morning and put in crock pot or large stock pot, covering with water, 1-2 inches above the beans
also add smoked sausage, cut it up
in crock pot cook on high for 1 hour and then low the rest of the day..8 hours or so
or in stock pot bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 3 hours.
at the end serve over hot rice and salt pepper and butter to taste. yummeyyy! you can also add spices but that is the basic recipe
