Sort out and soak the red beans the night before
Cut up all your meats and veggies and start browning the sausage in a pot with just a bit of olive oil
Add the peppers, celery, onion and garlic on top of the sausage and stir to combine. Next add the butter and stir till melted
Add the ham and keep stirring
Add the red beans and enough water just to cover everything and bring to a boil
Then add the garlic powder, Cajun seasoning, thyme, 4 bay leaves, pinch of sugar and Worcestershire
After an hour add fresh parsely
Cook for 2 and 1/2 to 3 hours on LO barely a simmer stirring occasionally and mashing some beans on the side of the pot for more creaminess (do this towards the end) It makes a paste
Serve over rice and garnish with the green onions on top this time I used yellow rice but use any kind you like ENJOY
