1 pound dried red beans or kidney beans
1 quart hot water
1 large ham bone with meat

1/2 cup chopped green onion
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 pound smoked sausage, cut into 1 inch pieces

Directions
Sort beans and rinse well; cover with tap water and soak overnight.
Drain beans and place in a large heavy pot; add hot water, ham bone, onion, green onion, garlic, bay leaf, cayenne and salt.
Bring mixture to a boil; cover and reduce heat.
Simmer beans 2 hours, or until tender, adding more water if necessary to keep from sticking; stir often.
