Recipe - Quick And Easy Red Beans And Rice

3 cn Red Beans (16 Oz Can); Drain
1 Can Only
1 pound Smoked Ham Hocks
1 One fourth cup Water
One half teaspoon Onion Powder
One half teaspoon Garlic Salt
One fourth teaspoon Red Pepper
One fourth cup Lard; Plus 2 Tablespoons
One fourth teaspoon Fresh Ground Black Pepper
Salt; To Taste At The End
5 cup Rice; Cooked And Drained

To a 2 quart pan, add 2 cans of Red Beans, including the juice, ham hocks,
and water. Let simmer on low to medium heat until meat loosens from the
bone, about an hour or so. Turn off the heat and allow to cool down a bit.

When cool enough, remove the meat from the bone and return the meat to the
beans. Then, earn your dog's undying love by tossing him the bone!

Pour the bean and meat mixture in to a food processor and add the lard, red
pepper, garlic salt, onion powder, and black pepper. Use the pulse setting
so as not to over process the mixture. You're looking for a thick, chunky
mixture. It should only take 4 or 5 seconds of processing to achieve this.

Return the mixture to the pan and add the remaining can of Red Beans that
have been drained. Cook and stir over low heat until the added beans are
almost falling apart. Salt to taste and serve over a bed of rice.
