RED BEANS AND RICE 1 lb. dried red beans, soaked overnight 2 ham hocks 1 onion, chopped fine 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped 1/2 tsp. garlic powder 2 large ripe tomatoes, chopped 1/2 tsp. parsley 1 tsp. seasoned salt 1 tsp. seasoned pepper 1 tsp. bay leaves 1 tsp. basil 1/2 tsp. oregano Combine all ingredients in large iron Dutch oven and cover with water; let soak overnight or until beans split open. Bring to a boil; boil for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and cover well. Add water from time to time to make a thick, rich gravy. Cook until beans are tender. I sometimes add a package of smoked sausage chopped into rings about 1/4-inch thick for extra flavor. Serve over cooked rice or in a bowl.
