Aprel's Red Beans and Rice

1 8 oz package of Red Beans (Camilla red beans are the best but you can't get them here. Sad. But you can order them online. )
1 yellow onion chopped
1 green pepper chopped
2 stalks of celery chopped, including the leaves)
1 package smoked sausage (Not ground raw sausage. This is by the hot dogs and looks like this.)
3 cups of uncooked rice

Rinse your beans in a strainer. In a large crock pot, put beans, onion, green pepper, celery. Fill to the top with water leaving about an inch. Set on high and let cook for 4-6 hours. Once beans are soft smash some with the back of the spoon against the side of the crock pot. This will help thicken it a bit.) Cut up sausage into rings and then cut the rings in half. Add sausage to crock pot. Taste beans, add salt and pepper to taste. Add Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning for some kick. Cook for 1-2 more hours on low with the lid off of the crock pot.

Cook the rice in 6 cups of water.

To serve, place rice in the bottom of a bowl. Pour red beans over top. ENJOY!
