Cajun Red Beans and Rice

Soak the beans overnight in water.

With medium heat, heat oil in a large pot and fry the onions until transparent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and bacon, fry for another minute.

Add sausage, red beans, Cajun seasoning, thyme, sage, bay leaf, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low. Skim off the scum from the top. Let simmer for 1 to 2 hours or until the beans are tender, stirring occasionally.

Stir in vinegar and mash beans slightly with a spoon. Serve over hot steamed rice.
