Omg! Yummy! This taste so good! I'm from Louisiana so I do not play when it comes to my food haha but this was My first time cooking red beans and rice and wow everyone absolutely loves it! I love that u added a pepper to it! I did that and people thought it was too spicy😒! But whatever... I love the spice it gives it that extra kick boo! I'm a Raging Cajun so I like it hot !! Thanks for this recipe!🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Thanks much! Glad you enjoyed the recipe and I appreciate the kind words. Gotta love Camilla beans!!!! Geaux Tigers!!!!

[@northeastbeastlafoe628]

I do the baking soda also it works great even on homemade tomato soup... looks great

[@strangerhorse5209]

The baking soda does work and also is a thickening agent. Sugar will always balance the tomato acid for finikey stomachs and kids. Cheers

Serranos have a touch more kick, and some freshly ground cumin😁!

I can't make red beans and rice without your video playing along. My husband laughs because every time he hears your voice he knows what's for dinner. Great video!!

Nice!!! I grew up in Port Allen, LA. I do miss that great food from Louisiana and am lucky that I can find most of the Cajun/Creole seasonings here in Austin. The one thing I cannot find locally is that really nice poboy bread from New Orleans.

[@lacybusch9093]

I used your recipe the first time I ever made this and my husband loved it! He ate on it for days. Friday is his 30th birthday and I asked him if he had any special request and he said oh please make those red beans and rice again. Thanks for the great recipe!

cornbread is a must.

[@octaviawilliams3159]

Good Lord! There’s nothing better than a man that can cook!!

[@watermelongrin]

I soak my beans overnight and rinse the next day. It removes the gas plus it doesn't take as long to cook. Learned this from my aunt Anna Mae. Sometimes I add a little roux for flavoring.

[@janiceshira8919]

I all so soak my beans over night and in the morning drain and rinse. It makes it easy to not have to scoop up the bubbles or gas. And yes my mother would put the baking soda in if she did not soak and rinse the beans. It's all good.

[@brandiec4882]

I do prefer to presoak my beans.

[@AlexisEternity]

Me too.

[@lindajackson8068]

My grandmother and mother did that also as i do also. 👍

[@derrick76oneal88]

Yes when you soak them pour the first water off that has all the stuff that give u gas

[@philipwhite3388]

The baking soda was a trick I never seen so I am impressed. Thanks

[@ShellysMusic13]

It doesn't work.

[@chrisburke7823]

I’m from England originally, the baking soda absolutely works in breaking beans down. Try covering the beans the night before with boiling water. Add 2 tablespoons of baking soda. Next morning rinse. Then follow Troys recipe....

[@Khorton014]

The gas that you have from beans is from the high fiber content in the beans. Baking soda doesn’t reduce the amount of fiber in the beans. Embrace the fiber. Just make sure you’re drinking 64+ ounces of water (unless you have CHF and are fluid restricted).

[@jjohnkobbeman]

@@Khorton014 The gas is caused by a specific sugar... oligosaccharide... which doesn't break down until without a certain type of bacteria. One which isn't present until the very end of the line of the large intestine.

[@MDC2020]

I always love cooking my red beans in a cast iron pot over a camp fire...something about cooking over a fire that makes everything better!

[@alicesmith7913]

Old post, I know, however, anything cooked outside always seems to taste better to me. I cook a huge pot of Brunswick stew each fall, fry my cornbread on my outside griddle to!

[@kdmil2002]

Thanks for the tip about the baking soda. I don't eat beans very often and a while ago I made a huge pot of beans. They were so delicious but about an hour after I ate them I started having the most painful abdominal cramps that last for over 24 hours. I haven't made homemade bean since even though I would love to. Now I will try your method. I also hear that skimming them, while cooking, takes some of the gasses off.

[@PicknTime]

Yea T-Roy, you got it going on. Really like your videos. I made something like this tonight, but wished I'd seen your recipe first. I know that went down well with that cornbread, sweet tea and blues. I'm old country boy from eastern Mississippi. I live just-up-out-of-the Delta---home of the Blues. I never met a bean I did't like! I alway keep at least 8 or 9 types around for survival, LOL. One thing I do is use 2 or 3 meaty hocks or smoked neckbones. After the meat began to cook off the bone, I remove them, debone them, chop the meat and add it back, to finish the cooking. I do the same with my baked beans too. This is some good eating.

[@davejones52]

my dear old Mum use to make us a very similar meal made from red beans,onions,peppers,bacon,but included a ham hock,she would boil it all for about 8hr, then let it cool overnight and then serve it up on a bed of rice for tea the next day, my mum was from Belize City, I'm welsh and Love the meal.. thank you for showing me another way of making it,but Im leaving the hot,hot bits out hahah thank you

My favorite red beans and rice video, simple delicious and too the point!

[@elainebmack]

I'm gonna try that baking soda thing. I usually soak the beans overnight, and I also boil the beans hard with the top off the pot for 15 minutes with some kelp seaweed ( I live in New England!). The kelp adds nice flavor with no added salt and also adds vital trace minerals. I then turn the fire down and let the beans simmer till tender. I LOVE LOVE LOVE red beans and rice! Thanks for your nice, easy, and straightforward video.

[@klc317]

Funny, I was craving this for some reason, hadn't eaten it forever. Looked on youtube and immediately found T-Roy.....ha! Should've known you had a video on this recipe. Thanks! I got it started a little bit ago and tried the baking soda. Should make my wife much happier tonight after a pile of beans! Best part of this is that its dirt cheap to pick up the simple ingredients.

Hey Dr. T-Roy .....good analogy on the baking soda and bean chemistry. If I have time I usually soak mine over night with a shot of baking soda to get rid of the gas. Great video Man ! Looks terrific !!! YUMMM Bro !!!

This looks great can’t wait to try this one! In England a similar thing is done with the baking soda with dried peas. Peas would be prepped the night before. Peas go into a small pan, add boiling water and cover by 1 inch. Add a tablespoon of baking soda. Rinse before cooking. Peas fall apart. Gray vid once again Troy. Thx

My Mom put soda in our beans for the same reason. Actually the Oligosaccharides in the beans are what cause the gas since they are difficult to digest. The bacteria make a lot of gas while eating them . Soda likely does nothing but make you feel better. Thanks for this though Troy I always like your vids.

[@watermelongrin]

The reason for cutting the sausage into coin size is to expose as much flavor as possible to the beans. Occasionally, I would boil a ham hock for a couple hours, remove the outer fat and part of that I would dice up and add that and the meat to the beans. andouille is the best if you are cooking New Orleans style beans. I also put bay leaf in mine at the beginning of the boil. I just had a bowl of beans for lunch today. Justin Wilson, can't do better. And I like his style of cooking.

[@olddudeaustin]

Think I could actually make this one.

[@DenaInWyo]

Making this for the first time tomorrow. We've always used a box of Zatarain's with smoked sausage for a cheap and easy week night dinner, for years, but after visiting NOLA the first time this year, I decided I need to do the real thing. Serving it as one of the sides for a get together tomorrow with brisket, scalloped potatoes and corn bread. Weird combination I know, but I have a bean hater so we needed a side she loves. It's going to be a carby, sinful, worth every calorie feast! I just love watching your videos. You seem like such a genuinely nice person and your way of showing us how to cook is just..comforting?
