Crock pot this! The beans need to sit and soften in the low heat. Im going to make this again and use my slow cooker for sure! Overall the taste is yummy and its super easy and affordable to make. Im also going to add some sausage.

Gonna have to try this with out good and easy it sounds
Red beans & rice get the great flavor from the long cook with smoked meats. Usually the andouille sausage is browned. The cajun trinity (onion, pepper, celery) is then cooked in that fat & spices. The beans and veggies cook all day with a smoked turkey neck or wing or ham hock and a bunch of seasoning & herbs. You smash about 1/3 of the beans to make it creamy and absorb the lovely flavors. And, then you add the sausage back in to enjoy with the rice (and fresh cilantro🙂).
Avoid cooking red beans in a crockpot unless they are canned. Crockpots don’t cook at a high enough temperature to kill the toxic PHA’s in kidney beans, which need a hard boil for 15-30 minutes before the long simmer.
If you want a *really* simple and really good RB&R. Two cans of Blue Runner Creole Cream Style beans and a can of Goya small red beans.
