Red Beans and Rice III

Red Beans And Rice 1 pound red beans -- cooked 1/2 pound ham -- diced 1/2 pound hot link sausages -- diced 3 medium jalapeno chile pepper -- diced fine 1 medium onion -- diced 1 tablespoon creole seasoning 2 bottles amber beer 1/2 cup celery -- diced 1/2 cup red bell pepper -- diced

In a crockpot or a heavy 3 quart pan place all the ingredients except the beans to a boil and simmer for an hour or two. Add the beans and simmer for another hour or two. Mash a few of the beans with a spoon to thicken the liquid..

Do not use a creole seasoning made with salt. The sausage and ham provide salt, and more may be added at the table.

Add additional peppers if desired. Serve with rice.

A table of tomato paste may be added near the end of the cooking time. Jeff
