I love your recipe. Before, I just threw everything in the crock pot. With your recipe, I found a new appreciation of flavor. I was browning the sausage and then the veggies and the fragrance was amazing. I was transported back to my grandmother’s kitchen in Crowley, La. It was 1975 and I was barely able to see over her cabinets, but I knew by the smell that something amazing was coming. I used Tasso and regular sausage. I have seen that many people use Andouille. Do you think the andouille works better? I really don’t know the difference between the two which is really sad considering that I was raised right here in Acadiana. Thanks again for your wonderful recipe.

Hi Thomas,

We used to play a radio in the background while we cooked.

Then, YouTube decided that we could not have “copyrighted” music on our videos.

Which in itself was no problem, all they had to do was tell us.

Anyway, if we couldn’t dance and cut up, it was no fun anymore.

You can still get our recipes at the Cajun Cooking TV website.

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for checking on us.

Beryl has been having to work a lot of hours at her job, and has just been too worn out to make any more videos for a while.

We do hope to make some more in the future.

We really appreciate you checking in!

Hi Raymond,

Thanks for your comment.

I’ve heard Monday to be the red beans and rice day also.

I think Beryl’s mom and grandmother made it on Thursdays for some reason.

Thanks for visiting our web site and videos!

I really enjoy your recipes/videos very much and refer to them often. But I must tell you that popular folklore and accepted wisdom has always stated that Red Beans and Rice has historically been cooked on MONDAY not Thursday. As a matter of fact you are the first person I’ve ever heard claim it as a Thursday meal. I was born in New Orleans and lived there most of my life so I know these things LOL! Keep up the good work!

This is fantastic and very easy to make. I fixed it for a group get-together at work and there wasn’t one bean left over. I used canned beans because of time constraints, but otherwise didn’t change the recipe at all. I’ll make it again very soon.

Red beans are actually a Monday dish. This was because Monday was the clothes washing day and red beans were an easy dish that required little attention while clothes were being washed. Good recipe though.
