Notes: If beans look to dry then add some more water and also make sure to stir frequently during cooking to prevent them from scorching. If the beans aren’t thickening by themselves, you can take a cup of the beans and mash them with a fork. Then return the mashed beans to the pot and simmer for about 15-20 more minutes.
*Must serve corn bread, or french bread with any Cajun dish! Also have some Tony Chachere’s and/or Louisiana hot sauce on hand.
