It’s CROCKTOBER! October is one of my favorite months of the year. Was it Anne of Green Gables that said, “I am glad I live in a world where there are Octobers”? It kicks off my favorite time of the year and all the holidays that follow. What comes along with the cooler temps and earth tone colors, comes time to be cozy. That includes cozy and comforting food. It’s the perfect time to pull out the crockpot and make some hearty and comforting meals. Also, since it’s 2020, these comforting meals are needed more now than ever.
I have been craving Red Beans & Rice lately. Maybe it’s feeling of nostalgia or needing to connect to my childhood, but the craving is real and I need this flavorful and comforting dish in my life right now. It also could not be easier to make, ESPECIALLY in a crock-pot.
It also makes a ton, so it’s perfect for inviting a few friends over and enjoy and cozy meal on a cool fall day. Serve with cornbread, like these Honey Cornbread Muffins, and a side salad.

Recipe:
STEP 1: Chop bell pepper, onion and celery. I cut my big, because I like to flavor with them and then take them out. It’s just my preference. If you want to keep them in, chop them up pretty small.
STEP 2: Chop andouille into bite size pieces.
STEP 3: Add beans, water, bell pepper, onion, celery, garlic, andouille and creole seasoning to the crockpot.
STEP 4: Cook in crockpot on high for 7 hours or until beans are cooked and tender.
STEP 5: When beans have about 30 minutes left, cook some white rice.
STEP 6: Serve red beans over hot rice and garnish with herbs or green onions.
