1

Put the red beans in a large container, cover with several inches of cool water, and let sit for 8 hours to overnight. Drain.
2

Heat a skillet over medium heat; cook the sausage until cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Move the sausage to a work surface and slice it.
3

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the onions, bell pepper, celery, and bay leaves until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the sausage, ham, and 1/2 of the Creole seasoning; cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Stir the drained beans into the sausage mixture.
4

Stir the chicken broth, garlic, and remaining Creole seasoning into the bean mixture; cover the skillet and simmer on low for 3 hours.
5

Stir the tomato sauce, vinegar, and 1/2 of the green onions into the bean mixture, lightly mashing some beans with a potato masher. Simmer, uncovered, until thickened and the beans are tender, about 30 minutes more. Stir the remaining green onions and the parsley into the beans and serve over cooked rice.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
