Title: Classic Red Beans 'n' Rice
Categories: Beans, Beef, Vegetables, Rice, Pork
Yield: 8 servings

1 lb Dried red beans
8 c Water
1 Ham hock
2 Bay leaves
1 ts Onion powder
1 lb Ground beef
1 lg Onion; chopped
1 ts Salt
1/2 ts Pepper
1 cl Garlic; minced
Hot cooked rice
Chopped fresh parsley; opt

Sort beans and rinse with cold water. Place beans in a
Dutch oven; add enough water to cover by 2 in. Bring to
a boil; boil for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; cover
and let stand until beans are softened, 1-4 hours.

Drain and rinse beans, discarding liquid. Return to
Dutch oven. Add the 8 cups water, ham hock, bay leaves
and onion powder. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover
and simmer for 1 hour.

In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, cook the
beef, onion, salt and pepper over medium heat until meat
is no longer pink, breaking meat into crumbles. Add
garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Drain. Add to bean
mixture. Simmer, uncovered, 1 hour. Discard bay leaves.

Remove ham hock; allow to cool. Remove meat from bone;
discard bone. Cut meat into bite-sized pieces and return
to broth. Heat through. Serve with rice and, if desired,
top with chopped fresh parsley.
