Description
Just so you know, I don’t have a real recipe for this, but this is how I make it. A lot of people like to make their beans on the stove top, but I like to stick mine in the oven and when you’re done, you’re gonna have a beautiful pot of red beans and then make rice to go along.

Step-by-Step Instructions *
Put the red beans in Dutch oven or heavy pot on the stove with a rough cut onion and the broth you might need to add a little bit of water into it if it doesn’t have a decent amount of coverage. Bring it to a boil and let it boil for 10 minutes. Put the lid on turn it off and let it sit for half an hour. Add the ham, garlic and bay into the pot. Add additional broth. Or water if you add water, you may need to add some better than bouillon at the end to adjust flavoring. Put it in the oven at 325 for about three hours. But check on it about once an hour to make sure you don’t run out of liquid. Once the beans are kind of soft, taste them and make sure they have enough flavor. If it’s lacking a little bit of flavor, add a little bit of better than broth bouillon. If you’re not buying that already, you should always have that in your refrigerator. Once you address, the flavor use a potato masher to mash around in there a little bit you don’t want to mash them all. You just want to mash about a cup full, you can actually just take out a cup if you want and match that cup, and add them back in, to thicken up the liquid. Voila!
Additional Notes
By making this a slow bake with a lid on it, it keeps bringing the flavor, infusing it back into the pot instead of letting it escape. Part of how good this turns out is going to depend on the quality of your hambone how much ham is left on it once mine is all cooked. If the ham hasn’t fallen off the bone I use a fork to kind of release it off the bone so everybody gets a little bit in their bowl.
