Servings: persons

1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine
3 1/2 cups chopped yellow onions
2 cups chopped green bell peppers
1 1/2 cups chopped celery
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 lb cooked ham, cubed
1 lb smoked sausage, cut crosswise into 1/4 inch slices
1/2 lb salt pork, chopped
3 lbs red kidney beans, picked over and rinsed in cool water
water
slap ya mama cajun seasoning
3/4 teaspoon crumbled dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon crumbled dried basil
4 bay leaves
chopped green onion (to garnish)
chopped fresh parsley leaves (to garnish)

1
In a large, heavy pot, heat the bacon drippings over medium heat.
2
Add the onions, bell peppers and celery and cook, stirring, until they are lightly golden, about 10 minutes.
3
Add the garlic and cook for three minutes. Add the ham, sausage and salt pork. Cook for five minutes.
4
Add the beans and add enough shrimp or chicken broth to cover. Season with salt, cayenne and black pepper.
5
Add the thyme, basil and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, partially covered, for about two hours, stirring occasionally, or until the beans are tender.
6
Add more water or broth if the mixture becomes dry. If you like the beans to be creamy, puree about one-third of the beans in a food processor, in batches, and return to the pot.
7
Cook for another 30 minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaves. Serve hot, garnished with green onions and parsley, over rice.
