Cajun Red Beans and Rice

Over the weekend, we cooked up some Cajun specialties for a small dinner party we were having to celebrate Richard’s Cajun heritage. Part of the menu included a big batch of Cajun Red Beans with andouille sausage made in our slow cooker. As we had hoped, we had plenty of leftovers to enjoy for dinner tonight!
