This New Orleans red beans and rice is just like what Mom makes. I recommend cooking it the day before you want to eat it. It is a time-consuming recipe, and the taste gets even better after 24 hours in the refrigerator. For extra spice, add a splash of hot sauce.
Melt shortening in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, bell pepper, and garlic in hot shortening until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
Combine water, red beans, and ham hock in a large pot; bring to a boil. Stir onion mixture into the pot; add smoked sausage and celery. Return to a boil. Stir bay leaves, Creole seasoning, thyme, and sage into boiling water. Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer until beans are tender, about 5 hours.
Remove and discard ham hock and bay leaves; stir in hot pepper sauce and serve over white rice.
