1 pound pinto beans

3 pound cured ham - cut in small pieces

3 pound crayfish tails

1 large onion (diced)

4 large garlic cloves

1 pound smoked sausage

Hot sauce to taste (or you can add dried pepper flakes and/or pepper seasoning of your choice)

3 cup raw rice

Place the beans ham and crayfish in a crock pot with sufficient water and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours. In a pot large enough to hold the beans saute the remaining ingredients except rice. When the onions are translucent add beans to pot along with the rice and simmer until rice is tender. Serve this with cornbread, sourdough, French, or bar-b-que bread and a cold glass of ice tea.
