Slow Cooker Red Beans & Rice - Crock Pot Red Beans & Rice
Slow Cooker Red Beans & Rice - dried red beans, andouille sausage, water, tomato sauce, Worcestershire, onion, green pepper and cajun seasoning - serve over hot white rice. This is the best red beans and rice outside of New Orleans! SO easy and crazy delicious!
We made a big pot of red beans and rice last weekend, and it really hit the spot! We both gave this rave reviews. This version of red beans and rice could not be easier; just toss everything in the crock pot and let it slow cook all day. There is no need to presoak the beans, just toss them in the crock pot with the rest of the ingredients. We whipped up a pan of cornbread to complete the meal. Don't miss these red beans and rice!
Yield: serves 6 to 8

What a lovely dish! We just have started using our slow cooker and currently on the lookout for slow cooker recipes to try. This one totally caught our attention. We love red beans and we think we'll love this recipe just as much. We're bookmarking this now. Thanks for sharing Steph. :)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds DEEEEEEE-lish! Can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteRed beans and rice is one of my hubbies favorite things he picks to cook.
ReplyDeletelooks good!
I've never had red beans & rice, and haven't ever had Cajun food because I'd been told it's spicy. I can't handle spice above "Mild" (think Mild salsa or Mild sauce packets @Taco Bell). Should I, then, use only 1 Tbs Cajun seasoning? Or even less? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis wasn't spicy. You could reduce the Cajun seasoning to 1 tablespoon, but I wouldn't go less than that.
ReplyDeleteThis looks really yummy! Sounds like corn bread would go perfectly with it!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love your blog! You have the best recipes! High five, girl!
ReplyDeleteSteph I also love your blog. Your recipes are not too fancy for us plain folks and most of the ingredients are in the pantry. I have not been following you long but I pin most your recipes on Pinterest and always have lots of repins.
ReplyDeleteWe have red beans and rice quite often. There is now a packaged red beans...has the seasoning packet that is too perfection. All you do is add your sausage and water.Has directions on the package. It is called Ragin Cajun Fixins..OMG it is wonderful. I'm cajun and you can't beat this product LOL.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I am late getting here. I was busy doing side bends and sit ups:)
ReplyDeleteRed beans and rice rock, one of my favorite side dishes but I don't make them often enough. I like how easy your version is!
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks of "Baby Got Back" when I hear "red beans and rice!"
ReplyDeleteThis looks great!
I Googled to see what's in Cajun seasoning, and I'll just make my own with less cayenne pepper. This is from allrecipes that makes 1/4 cup. Just store airtight!
ReplyDelete2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/4 teaspoons dried oregano
1 1/4 teaspoons dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
I think that the seasonings combination sounds very tasty, and I can't wait to try your recipe!
Thanks for this!
DeleteI am currently making this. It has been in the crockpot 10 hours and the beans do not seem to be done. Does it take longer than the 10 hours mentioned in the instructions?
DeleteKarijoy - mine was done in 10 hours, but all slow cookers are different. I may take longer in your slow cooker.
DeleteWhen I try to save recipe it says the recipe is Garlic Parmesan Crusted Chicken??? and not Red Beans and Rice.
ReplyDeleteFound you through Pinterest several weeks ago. I made this recipe last week (with quinoa instead of rice because it cooks faster than the brown rice I had)and wanted to tell you it was so good. We are Texans transplated to West Virginia and I swear these people up here think tomato sauce is spicy!! I saw in comments you said the dish wasn't spicy as is, but it was REALLY spicy to us (no complaints here), maybe the Creole seasoning I use is spicier than Cajun seasoning? Anyway, we LOVED it just as it was. Thank you for your blog. I love it!! (I've also made the chicken cordon bleu casserole and making the taco crescent bake tonight).
ReplyDeleteI LOVED this recipe! Even better with a little bit of chopped up chipotle in adobo sauce for a little more kick plus a teaspoon of liquid smoke. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI was too lazy to change out of my PJs and go to the store (all day) to pick up a bell pepper and some Worcestershire, but it still came out AMAZING! So excited!! Love all of your recipes... The sausage cheese muffins are always a hit and this is going to become a regular in my house!!
ReplyDeleteAlso... When I think Red Beans and Rice, I think of the song by Spearhead :). http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=stGYYRtpqx8&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DstGYYRtpqx8
ReplyDeleteI've never had red beans and rice before but your recipe looked so delicious I just had to try it yesterday. It came out great! My husband and I both loved it. I'm eating it for lunch today and it is even tastier. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI tried this for the first time a few weeks ago-came across it on Pinterest. It was delicious! Every bit of this dish was eaten. I used a spicy chicken andouille sausage, instead of the smoked turkey, but followed everything else to the letter. It was spicy (which I love), but a little salty. I don't know if I need to reduce the cajun seasonings or try a different sausage. I have a spicy Chorizo on hand and thinking about trying that one out. I'll let you know how it turns out.
ReplyDeleteI have dried read beans i want to use up so this will be perfect, thanks!
ReplyDeleteSo do you have to soak the beans before putting them in the crockpot?
ReplyDeleteSorry! I just had the printed recipe - not the full post! I see you don't have to presoak now :)
ReplyDeleteThis baby is in the Crockpot for dinner tonight!! Keeping my fingers crossed. Happy Fat Tuesday y'all!!
ReplyDeleteIs there anyway to thicken this up a bit? Ive been cooking it for about 8 hrs and its slightly thin..
ReplyDeleteDo any of you good people out there know of a Crock Pot recipe for Red Beans & Rice w/o the sausage &Tex-Mex flavor? I can't eat anything hot & spicy anymore (though, truth be told, I never much liked it anyway.) I'd like to make the Slow-cook beans/rice with chicken thighs as a one-pot dinner. Any ideas? Any recipes you know? "Foodies" have the best recipes! Thank you all!
ReplyDeleteCan you use canned beans in this recipe or will the beans turn to much cooking so much? This recipe looks really good and I love read beans and rice. It also looks quick and easy and I love quick and easy. Thanks
ReplyDeleteTry mashing about 1/2 to 3/4 of the cooked beans with a fork or potato masher then add it back in. This will thicken it and then you still have the rest of the beans full
ReplyDeleteI have this cooking at the moment. I have sampled the juice and it is pretty hot, spice wise.
ReplyDeleteI will cut back on the cajun spice next time.
