I’ve had it years ago. Never made it myself. Does anyone have a recipe for it? I do remember it being pretty good.

Forgot where I got this recipe, but its mighty tasty! (ETA: as posted below, it's a John Folse Recipe)

Red Beans and Rice Gumbo
PREP TIME: 1 Hour
SERVES: 10-1
In South Louisiana, we normally think of red beans as a "Monday" dish and always serve them over rice with a link of smoked sausage. This gumbo variation started out as a perfect solution to making use of leftover red beans and rice. Today, it’s a fall delicacy.
* INGREDIENTS:
* 1 (16-ounce can) Blue Runner New Orleans Red Beans
* 1 (10-12-ounce) can red kidney beans in water
* 1 cup cooked long grain rice
* 1/4 cup vegetable oil
* 1/4 cup bacon fat
* 1/2 cup flour
* 1 cup onions, diced
* 1 cup celery, diced
* 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
* 1/4 cup garlic, minced
* 1 quart chicken stock or
* water
* 1 pound sugar cured ham, diced
* 1/2 pound smoked sausage, sliced
* 1/2 cup green onions, sliced
* 1/2 cup parsley, chopped salt and pepper to taste
* METHOD:
In a 7-quart cast iron pot, heat oil and bacon fat over medium-high heat. Add flour and, using a wire whisk, stir constantly until dark brown roux is achieved. Add onions, celery and bell peppers and saute 3-5 minutes or until vegetables are wilted. Add garlic and saute, stirring occasionally, for an additional 3 minutes. Add chicken stock, blending well into the roux mixture. Add ham and smoked sausage and cook 3-5 minutes. Add Blue Runner beans, blending well into the stock. Bring to a rolling boil, reduce to simmer and cook 45 minutes. Add additional stock or water as necessary to maintain soup-like consistency. Add cooked kidney beans, rice , green onions and parsley. Season to taste using salt and pepper. Return to a low boil and serve immediately.

There is a recipe in the river parishes "traditions" cookbook. Comes out really good. I will post it later when i can get to it. In general principle I dislike John Folse's stuff bc he just takes other people's recipes, adds random spices that don't have much flavor, and sells it as his own. And I say this as someone distantly related.
