Crescent City Red Beans and Rice Crock-Pot)

Cooking is my relaxation and my stress relief. It's also my job at a local school. We feed 40 kids a day so it allows me to make my own menu! Baking is my downfall. I plan to work on it this summer.

1 lb dried kidney beans, I prefer the pink ones to the dark red ones

1 ham hock (optional)

4 garlic cloves, chopped

1 teaspoon black pepper, fresh ground

1 tablespoon chicken stock, powdered

1 teaspoon garlic salt

1 teaspoon dried chipotle powder, I use one Knorr mini cube (optional)

1 teaspoon liquid smoke (optional)

2 to 3 bay leaves

1 onion, chopped

1 bell pepper, chopped

1 tablespoon butter

1 to 2 tablespoon salt, according to your taste

1 to 2 teaspoon cajun seasoning, Tony Cacheres and Zatarains brand are both very good

1⁄4 cup butter

1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce, Chipotle flavored is really nice

2 tablespoons cornstarch or 2 tablespoons cornflour

1 lb smoked sausage
