  • 1 (28-ounce) bag Chef John Folse's New Orleans Red Beans and Smoked Sausage
  • ½ cup oil or bacon fat*
  • ½ cup flour*
  • 1 cup diced onions

Method:
Heat bagged red beans according to package directions. In a large stockpot or cast iron Dutch oven make combine oil or fat and flour to create a dark roux. *Note: You may use 1 cup of a commercial dark roux instead of making your own.
