- 1 (16 ounce) package smoked sausage, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon margarine
- 1 cup uncooked white rice
- Pick over kidney beans, place into a large bowl, and pour in enough water to cover by several inches. Soak kidney beans overnight.
- Drain kidney beans, transfer to a large soup pot, and cover with 3 quarts fresh water.
- Stir in green bell pepper, onion, celery, salt, black pepper, Creole seasoning, and garlic.
- Cover the pot, place over medium heat, and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer until beans are tender, about 4 hours.

- About 30 minutes before serving time, place 2 cups water and margarine into a saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Stir in rice, return to a boil, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover the pan and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to stand covered for 5 minutes.
