Looking for a great crockpot beans and rice recipe? Try this recipe for slow cooker red beans and rice. It’s super easy to make and delicious too!
The crock pot is one of my best friends, and crockpot beans and rice is a staple. I literally sing its praises as it saves me so much time on my busier days.
I love that I can just toss a bunch of stuff in it and come home at the end of the day to a prepared dinner. I have even been known to prep it all the night before, place it in the fridge then I can just pop the pan right into the crock pot in the morning and it makes for a speedy morning routine.
I especially love the crock pot during the summer months because it doesn’t heat up the house like my oven. I make a lot of roasts, chickens, stews and soups in the crockpot. Another really easy meal to make in your crock pot is this Slow Cooker Sausage, Red Beans and Rice recipe.
I never had Louisiana hot sauce before I met my husband, but he got me hooked on it. Our cabinet is always stocked and it goes with a lot of our meals.

This recipe looks delicious. I can’t figure out why it’s so many calories per serving unless those sausages are really fatty or the portions are very generous. I’m making it soon though!
Hi Kathleen, we like generous portions! This is calculated for 8 servings. 🙂
