Time 25m

Yield 1 1/4 cup, 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (15 ounce) can red beans
1 slice salt pork (about 1-inchx4-inch) or 1 slice pork fatback (about 1-inchx4-inch)
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons diced onions
1 tablespoon bell pepper
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
garlic powder
onion powder
cumin powder
celery seed, powder
paprika
chili powder
cayenne powder
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Cook oil, pork, onion, and green pepper over low-med heat until meat is translucent & fat is rendered. Don't brown or overcook meat.
  • Put meat mixture (incl. all the fat & oil) in food processor with a little water and about 25 beans and mix until blended & smooth. Place back in cooking pot.
  • Mix or pulse remaining beans in food processor with enough water until it has consistency of salsa. Add to cooking pot.
  • Add remaining ingredients to cooking pot (spices, liquid smoke, sugar) and enough water to make a loose, soupy mixture (the beans will thicken the mixture as it cooks).
  • Cook over low-med heat for 10 minutes, stirring, and adding water as necessary to end up with the consistency of thick gravy. Serve over quality white rice.
