New Orleans Style Red Beans & Rice | Reloaded 

As most of you know, I am Smoky Ribs wife. He does a lot of soul searching when making these videos. This is a favorite in the house and it doesn’t last long! Great job on your reload, baby!

Oh man, you are bringing back some memories. East Dr days.

I made this for my family and they ate the entire pot! The flavor is amazing! I added just a little extra seasoning, cause we like it, but otherwise followed your recipe. Thanks so much for this wonderful redo!

I did a dry run today of this recipe in preparation for my daughter’s 30th birthday celebration shrimp boil. I’m doing your RBR for the non-seafood folks. Wow! You were right! Just like Mothers in the Quarter! I’ve got a BIG pot on standby to double this great recipe! OOOOOWEEE! Das some goostuff rightdere!

You are the man!!! Love it...

Next to Gumbo , red beans and rice is my second favorite cajun/creole cuisine and yours Rus looks fantastic...the flavors have to way up there......great recipe and will give a try... thnks

Rus, I am Ohio born & raised and that is exactly how I make "Red Beans & Rice"....BTW, I enjoyed the background music in the original video.....

Nice and creamy, just how red beans should be. I could eat me a whole bowl of that, right now. Russ, you are always on point my brother.

Omg it looks delish! I’m gonna try ur recipe!

That is just so incredibly amazing looking. Rus, would making this with Andouille sausage take it too far from a traditional recipe?

Thanks Russ love your channel

Omg it’s been 6 years since I’ve known you Rus 🤭 wow time goes by so fast my friend. This is a wonderful idea to re make some of your videos from years ago, i for one love watching how you make good old southern favourites. That looks delicious

Great Music!

Seen that Dixie beer! That’s some good stuff! Bet it went good with fine meal sir!

This is very Kosher and yummy. Shalom my friend

Great remake Russ !!! You need to list ingredients though !!

yummy

God bless

Fine looking pot of red beans you got there Rus. I like mine to have a thick gravy too brother!! It doesn't get much better than that for a "stick to your ribs" kinda meal!! Cheers brother and Merry Christmas!

I love your channel but I have one thing that you could do to make it slightly better and that is to please add the ingredients at the bottom seeing as I'm at the grocery store but I find myself having to watch the whole video before I have the products

I travel from Scotland to Louisiana for work, and let me tell you, it isn't a proper trip unless I've had some red beans and rice from Victor's in New Iberia! Now I'll definitely be spreading the red beans and rice love to my friends and family back home. I just need to find a crawfish supplier and my prayers will have been answered. :D

Also, this recipe freezes very well. I just make a mess of it and throw it in the freezer. Then when I have a cookout just toss it in the crockpot to reheat. A real time saver. Nice video.

I like that. “It’s smelling good in the hood”💪😎

That looks delicious! 🥘🥖 I'll have mine with some Buttered Cornbread and Mayo based Cole Slaw. 😋😋Good. Thanks for sharing. 👍🌞👍

So agree with you about using stock. Definitely gives a lot more flavor. Chicken stock is good, but I take it a little extra and use my own home made stock. I keep a gallon bag in my freezer I call the "bone bag" and collect all bones, chicken backs, vegetable trimmings, veg I didn't end up getting to and is 'cook today or pitch'. When I've collected 2-3 bags, I pop it on the stove in a huge pot (my canner, actually), cover with water, add a splash of apple cider vinegar to help draw out the vitamins from the veg, and put it as low as I can and simmer for 24 hours. I do have to turn the stove off for awhile throughout the process because I don't want it to be a rolling boil, just a barely simmering. Strain through a mesh strainer, then again through a cheese cloth or old flour sack towel, divide up quantities I like, and pop it in the freezer. It's really bone broth and as long as you keep the heat nice and low, you'll notice it gets jelly like when cold. That's all that wonderful, healthy collagen. Have you noticed how much bone broth in the grocery store costs? I can make well over a gallon simply from stuff I'd have otherwise thrown away. And it makes amaaaazing red beans and rice!

Thank you so much for the video. I made this for Christmas dinner today with andouille sausage from Bourgeois Meat market in Thibodeau, LA. It was a runaway hit. Everybody loved it!!!!

That 'grey' color of your beans comes from the cast iron pot...no need to worry about that color! IF you want, cook a bunch more bacon in that pot to give it a good seasoning (to seal the cast iron pores), and it'll be more of a traditional red color. Don't matter - bet it tastes amazing!

You can think what you want but that old video is how I've been doing it for years and everyone loves it

I love when the beans turn into a gravy consistency. Good job!

Who dat! Those look like some delicious red beans, Rus. Happy new year brother!

This is precisely why I subscribed. I still remember having this in daycare back in Mississippi.

Hey man I tried your rib recipe and beat my friend in a rib-off competition lol, thanks man...

I think I heard you say folks could leave out the cayenne if they wanted to. But I'm pretty sure you meant to add, "Of course, if you do, why are you watching this video?" :)

I am making this now. After watching a slew of videos on this recipe, I chose your's.

Red Beans and rice is one of my favorites! great re-do video Russ!

I've never had this dish. It looks amazing. This is another must make from Smokey Ribs. Thank you Rus.

Boy the music in the old version was awesome! Love red beans and rice! Nice recipe.

I've had something similar but never had this exact recipe. I could sit down and eat a heapin helpin of that. Not much curb appeal as you said, but sooo good. That bread looks delicious too. Very excited about you doing these RELOAD VIDEOS. YUM

I love Red Beans and Rice, but I must say, something you did in that last hour caused those beans to become dark and ugly. I'm sure they tasted great, but I've never seen them that dark. Good video though. Thanks for the reload.

In about the first 20 seconds you had me at red beans and rice But I was pretty much hooked by BBQ Ribs in your title and the way you talk right off save - click bell - click like - check out all your video titles real quick cool t-shirt - hat - this is all good Sir

Love red beans and rice and your recipe is pretty similar to what I do as well. Good video and thanks for sharing.

Love the original music Rus.....and this reload! This actually is so simple but extremely delicious! Great reload!

Great video! I love the contrast and compare to the original. I especially like "how I do it now" points. And it's your delivery and personality, I could watch you make a peanut butter sandwich.

I love your videos and I've been a follower and Subscriber for years BUT, I wish you'd list what the KICK ASSED BLUES guitar music on your earlier videos. That would completely make my day. FOR REAL!!!

Sir you put your foot into this dish !! Thank you am making me this dish tommorow.... with some hot water CORNBREAD ..Lawd weight here it comes 🤗🤗🤗😄😊 To this old body . God Bless ..

I'm just seeing this now 2/6/23 I'm going to give it a try this Super Bowl weekend. I made Brazilian Feijoada on Saturday for the first time it turned out good . In Brazil they serve Feijoada on Wednesday and Saturday. But in Rio de Janeiro it can be on the menu seven days a week.

Russ Jones, hope you have a Marry Christmas and a Happy New Year.!.!.!.

....There are so many dishes that I can now make vs buy after watching your videos... This is one of them... Now, I have to go with vegetable broth and smoked turkey but this dish I cannot wait to make and feast on... 👍👍👍

So I drank a half bottle of CC whiskey and I finally made the rice at 8:15 PM and loaded it up with Siracha hot sauce. We both like eating fire! Even my GF who didn't want the sausage in it raved about it. Winner, winner chicken dinner! This recipe was worth the effort. We'll have it again for breakfast tomorrow morning.

That looks awesome man,I know your down south with those beautiful dishes,I’m in Toronto Canada,and I’m making this,the dogs in your area sounded like they wanted it too,good work as always!🇨🇦♥️🇺🇸

Just made your recipe it was amazing. I feel bad for you you got those yapping dogs in your neighborhood. There’s nothing worse LOL.

c'est bon mon amie! Mieux QUE JAMAIS! keep it up! Beans are indeed the way to world soul food lol!

I love the way you roll.....looks great! The only caveat is salt. You added salt in the trinity, salt is in the sausage and especially the ham hock...salt in the chicken broth....you can't take it out! I'm certain you have it down but to some that don't cook much, I can see the salt going out of control. You can always add some at the end if you need it.

I am from Ontario Canada and thanks to my high miler trucking job, I love red beans and rice, just like you're eating.

Do you ever cook the rice in the beans and not separate.

Thank God you used Red Beans, so tired of people saying red pinto beans it isn’t the same. Love my Red Beans and Rice. Only thing better is Gumbo

If you ever get a chance buddy, try some Country Pleasin andouille made up here in Rankin county. You won't regret it.

Nicely done! Sign me up! I haven't had the real deal since I was down in NO. Some have come close, but not quite the same. I think I'll have to give this a shot sometime soon. Thanks for the redux, Russ!

Looks fabulous!! The wife will be very happy when she gets off work this evening. She asked me before bed , did Rus upload the video yet !?! Hahaha We really enjoy watching and doing your cooks at home! Thanks Rus ! And Merry Christmas 🎄

BTW I wonder if you could make BBQ shrimp with that seasoning

I a'm very fond of all beans and this is one of the finest dishes I know of next to chili . I think its a good day to make some Red Beans and Rice. Happy New Year Y'all.

These look great man

Good idea on doing a "re-mastered" version! I like my beans in chili to have some bite to them but you're totally right about RB&B - you gotta cook em til they surrender. And thanks for sporting the Saints colors! I tend to be a little bit of a homer with the local teams - I am actually deep down a Sharks hockey nut with season tix since the very beginning, ending when I deteriorated from ALS so much I could no longer attend games - but I always liked the Saints from my years in Florida in the 70s. Then when Steve Gleason became my friend I really took them to my heart. I still remember his block of the Falcons punt after Katrina and how the Dome blew its new roof off again, but in a good way. He totally deserves his larger-than-life statue outside the Dome. "Who dat?!?"

are you grillin in the Front Yard ? yaMaverick! but I really need to know bout that 'French' bread tho.

But the way you cooked them looked amazing. Maybe just the camera

Boy that dish looks appealing to me. Thanks for the recipe Russ. Stay safe brother.

This is the recipe I've been using to make my red beans I can't keep them in the house my mom just asked for a pot

I made some Red Beans and Rice by you'r directions and I think they turned out very good. Not bad for the first time.

Great looking Beans and Rice. Love how you showed the original video along the way too :)

That’s an awesome meal buddy! I hope you knawed on that ham hock too? 👍🏼👍🏼

I just followed your recipe to a delicious conclusion! Thanks for sharing your talents with the internet.

More reloads please.

Russ, wow that looks awesome! Same recipe and same way I cook red beans and rice. I know that was one fine meal! Great video and anyone who has never cooked red beans and rice before will be able to cook them perfectly if they follow your perfect instructions! Well done!

Good recipe, Rus, very close to what I do. Thanks!

Man, those beans look outstanding. Great video.

I've actually been wanting to do some red beans and rice myself. Now after watching your video, I need to. Great job that looks very good.

The link to your seasoning isn't working anymore, do you have another source?

thanks again for this video

So much flavors going in. I'm drolling right now !!!!!!

I would absolutely destroy this! Love me some red beans and rice!

Damn Russ that looks awesome......I make a good red beans and rice and now I will add a couple of these techniques......The GUMBO KING upped my gumbo game , I'm positive he will up my red beans n rice as well! Merry Christmas to you and yours and GOD BLESS brother....thanks

Good gracious buddy your food looks real good, you guys in New Orleans don't play when it comes to food. Lord have mercy.

but the music in your debut video really kicked ass! 😆 \m/

Lordy I haven't seen ham hocks in a month of sundays. Bless you man. 😃

I’m a big fan of down home Nawlin’s recipes! I can’t wait to try your version of one of my favorites! The best I’ve ever had was at Mother’s in the French Quarter-yours looks exactly the same. I’m doing a shrimp boil (your recipe) in mid July and will be serving your RBR for the non seafood people. Regarding the Monday RBR tradition: Families traditionally served a big ham dinner on Sunday and saved the hambone and leftover ham bits to season their red beans for Monday dinner.

Great video, thank you. Looks delicious !!!

Ohhh I love red beans and rice. It’s so good. Sometimes I add a bit of cilantro as well.

Very nice Rus ! Great looking grub! Good job on the reload ! Merry Christmas !

Thanks for the reload! It's bookmarked for future use.

Don’t forget about all that unctuous gelatin you get from that ham hock.

gonna fire up the pressure cooker, show Lana what beans are, or the slow cooker

The ORIGINAL video is my go-to recipe when I cook this. I watch as I’m cooking. I will incorporate the newer ideas, just wish you’d remake the video like the 1st one in under 3 minutes. I’m making a pot this morning

Okay, 2.5 hours later my Red Beans are finally done. Being Greek, I normally prefer cooking different types of dishes, spices and seasonings, but these turned out very well and are quite tasty. Kudos to you and your recipe sir! I'll add them to my repertoire of dishes.

Howdy Rus. I'm going to adapt your recipe to a instapot cook. Just had surgery and staying at a motel while I recover for a month so no access to my outdoor cookers ( I so miss my smoker's and grills) but I believe your recipe will do great in the instapot. Have a great day.😊

My only criticism is “where’s the Cajon Sausage” if you don’t know what it is ask cajon Appreciate you actually used red beans, so tired of watching people use “red pinto beans”. Another trick to kick it up a notch, add a 1/4 pound of taso ham

The red beans and rice looks great, can you put this recipe on your web site. thanks

Russ your videos are always great. I have a question in your video you brought my question to my forefront. That is the fact of smoked ham hocks and turkey parts, like you used to infuse flavor into your dish. Are those items specifically for this, they have them in my grocery. It seems like they are infused with smoke that you would not sit down and have them for a main coarse meal. Also what is your opinion of smoked meat on your kamato joe as opposed to other cookers you have, could one make this his sole cooker, I like the offset but I'm not sure I would want to babysit on an overnighter. Happy Holiday's

Sounds delicious, But in the dir. of printable rec. says add beans about 2.5 hr. BUT you never put in recipe how much beans. I see from your youtube its 1 lb.

i like when you show all what ull need and how u put it together case id like to try it

Me gustó mucho "Smells good in da hood" Buena
