Crock Pot Adaptation for Red Beans and Rice
All the recipes on this site can be easily adapted for use with a slow cooker or Crock pot. Make sure you have a sufficiently large slow cooker to hold 5-7 quarts. If you don’t, you can cut the recipes in half to fit in a smaller slow cooker.
Simply prepare everything exactly as the recipe calls for, including sorting, rinsing and soaking dry beans, and sauteing vegetables and meat.
Place all the ingredients (except the rice and garnish) into the slow cooker instead of adding them to a Dutch oven and cover.
- For whole recipes (1 lb of beans): cook on high heat for 1-2 hours, then turn the pot down to low heat for 10 -12 hours.
- For recipes cut in half (half pound of beans): cook on low heat for 8 hours.
Rice must be prepared separately from the beans.
