      Title: Copycat Popeyes Red Beans & Rice
 Categories: Beans, Pork, Chilies, Rice
      Yield: 10 servings
 
 45 1/2 oz Red beans (3 cans)
    3/4 lb Smoked ham hock -OR-
    1/4 ts Liquid smoke
  1 1/4 c  Water
    1/2 ts Onion powder
    1/2 ts Garlic salt
    1/4 ts Red pepper flakes
    1/2 ts Salt
      3 tb Lard
    1/4 ts Fresh ground pepper
      4 c  Cooked long grain rice; to
           - serve
 
  Pour 2 cans of beans into a 2 qt saucepan along with the ham hock
  and water.
  
  Simmer on medium heat for an hour, until the meat starts to loosen
  from the bone.
  
  Remove from the heat and cool until the ham hock is cool enough to
  handle.
  
  Remove the meat from the bone, and place the meat, beans, and
  liquid from the pot in a food processor.
  
  Add the onion powder, garlic salt, red pepper flakes, salt, and
  lard.
  
  Process for only 4 seconds. The beans should be chopped and the
  liquid thick.
  
  Drain the remaining can of beans and add it to the processor.
  
  Process for just a second or two; you want these beans to remain
  almost whole.
  
  Pour everything back into the pan and cook slowly on low heat,
  stirring often, until you're ready to serve.
  
  Serve over rice.
