Ham Hocks Sausage (hot/spicey) Dark Red beans (liquid gives it that hearty flavor) Potatoes Carrots Tomatoe sauce or paste Garlic Cabbage Bay leaves (2to3) Salt & Pepper Tabasco Hardly any water used except to rinse out cans, pouring into pot.
Years of critiquing my own recipe
Start with a medium high heat setting. Put layer of cabbage in first (Should you put meats first it will burn.) Tomatoe sauce Than potatoes and carrots Beans Sausage Hamhocks Garlic Another layer of cabbage and can of beans Tabasco, salt & Pepper to taste
Cover Stir occasionally during cooking process After boil turn heat down to its lowest setting
Few hours to overnight Its done when Hamhocks start to fall off the bone All the while when cooking, I'll taste to see whats lacking👍
If you use MSG use just a lttle, it will peak the flavors.
