We usually celebrate Mardi Gras every year. This is a recipe I have used for over 20 years, and it always gets rave reviews, even from those who aren't fond of beans. The original recipe came from The Little New Orleans Cookbook by Gwen McKee, and I altered it to give it more flavor. After I soak the beans overnight, I usually cook this recipe in my slow cooker. I also make homemade muffalettas or French bread and fresh baked king cake to serve with this.
