1 lb dried red beans
2 quarts water
3 tablespoons ham soup base
3 cups chopped yellow onions
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 bunch green onion, chopped
2 large garlic cloves, crushed
1 cup parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon salt

Steps:

Best when prepared the day before, as these directions instruct.
Soak beans overnight in water to cover. Drain. Cook beans with ham soup base slowly for 3 hours. Near end of bean cooking time, saute yellow onions in olive oil until tender.
Add remaining ingredients except seasoned salt & rice; cook slowly for 1.5 hours.
Cool. Re-heat the next day and simmer for up to 1 hour [may need to add a little extra water if beans are too thick.] Add seasoned salt to taste.
For thicker beans, remove a few beans from the pot, mash beans and return to pot.
Serve over cooked rice.
