John's Creole Red Beans

Monday is the traditional day to serve red beans and rice in New Orleans. It's said that red beans were perfect for "washing day" (Monday) because they could be left to simmer while the day was devoted to laundry. The cook time for this recipe is three hours. While you may opt to wash a few loads, we prefer relaxing with a good book.
