3 lbs White Beans (washed)
3 Onions (diced)
1 Bell Pepper (diced)
1 Celery Stalk (diced)
8 Bouillon Cubes
3 tbs. Minced Garlic

Cut sausage into bite sized pieces.
Cook the sausage over medium-high heat until browned. Once browned, remove the sausage from the pot and set aside.
Add the butter and cook the onions, bell pepper, celery, and garlic over medium heat until browned. Be sure to brown over medium heat so that the butter does not burn.
Add the sausage back to the pot and then add the beans, the water, and the bouillon cubes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 3 hours or until the beans are tender. If necessary, add more water to the beans while they are simmering. Season to taste. Serve over cooked rice.
Chicken and Andouille Gumbo (5 Gallon Pot)
5 lbs Manda Andouille
10 lbs Boneless Chicken Meat
2½ cups Flour
2½ cups Vegetable Oil
4 lbs Onion
3 Bell Peppers
2 Celery Stalks
2 tbs Minced Garlic
2 gallons Water
8 Chicken Bouillon Cubes
You may use either boneless chicken breast meat or boneless chicken thigh meat. But, we suggest a combination of the two.
Cut the chicken and andouille into bite sized pieces. Dice the onions, bell peppers, and celery.
Bring the burner up to medium heat. Add the flour and the oil and stir to make a roux the color of chocolate. To do this, you have to keep stirring for 20-30 minutes, so the roux does not burn.
Once the roux is formed, stir in the chicken and the andouille so it is coated with the roux. Brown over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently to keep the roux from burning. Stir in the onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic and brown for an additional 5 minutes. Add the water and the bouillon cubes and stir very well so the roux is mixed well with the water. Bring to a boil, reduce and lightly boil for 10 minutes. Season to taste. Lower heat and simmer for 1 hour or until the meat is tender.
Serve with rice and french bread.

Jambalaya (5 Gallon Pot)
5-7 lbs Manda Sausage
2 Boston Butts (or 12 lbs pork total)
5 lbs Rice
5 lbs Onion
4 Bell Peppers
3 Celery Stalks
3 tbs Minced Garlic
7 Chicken Bouillon Cubes
18 cups Water
Diced Green Onions
Cut the pork and sausage into bite sized pieces. Dice the onions, bell peppers, and celery.
Brown the sausage over medium-high heat until browned. Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside.
Next, season and cook the pork over medium-high heat until browned. Once browned, remove the pork and set aside.
Next, season and cook the onions, bell peppers, celery, and garlic over medium heat. Cook until the onions are browned thoroughly or "caramelized". Be sure to stir the onions regularly so that they do not burn.
Add the pork and the sausage back to the pot with the vegetables. Add the water and the bouillon cubes. Bring to a boil, reduce and simmer for about 30 minutes or until the pork is tender. Season the water and taste for seasoning with a spoon. The water should taste slightly salty (remember you add rice to the water, so the water should taste slightly over-seasoned).
Bring the water back to a boil. Stir in rice and continue stirring for 3-4 minutes. Cover the pot and lower the heat to low. Cook for 30 minutes without removing the cover. After 30 minutes, turn off the heat, remove the cover, add diced green onions and stir the rice. At this point, the rice should be cooked. Cover again and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
Note: You can change the pork to chicken to make a Chicken Jambalaya
