1 lb. red beans, soak overnight
1 yellow onion, peeled & chopped
7 cloves garlic, peeled & fine chopped (not pressed)
1 rib celery, chopped
1 c. catsup (or bar-b-que sauce)
1 sm. sweet green bell pepper, seeded & finely chopped
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
3 tsp. Tabasco sauce
1/2 c. chopped parsley
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 1/2 lb. smoked sausage, cut into 1" slices & lightly browned
Cooked rice
Salt & pepper to taste at the table

Drain beans. Put them in a 6 quart heavy pot and add 3 quarts of fresh water. Cover and simmer for 1 hour (or until beans are tender). Watch that the water doesn't boil too far down, and make sure the beans are covered with water at all times. Add the rest of the ingredients, except the cooked rice, to the pot and more water to cover if needed. Simmer, partially covered for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until liquid has thickened. Serve over cooked rice.
