Prep: Remove sausage casing and slice into pieces. In cast iron pot, add sliced smoke sausage, hammocks (optional), butter, chopped onion, green onion, garlic and seasoning mix blend. Sprinkle dried thyme to the mix. Sauté' all ingredients until tender (About 5 minutes). Add red beans to the pot including the juice. Add a dash of liquid smoke to the pot. Add salt/pepper/slap yo mamma to taste. Stir. Cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes. (Check for salt/seasoning level after 15 minuites & you can adjust seasoning if needed). If you like creamier beans, mash the beans with the spoon as you stir. While beans are simmering I cook about 2-3 cups of rice in the rice cooker. Serve beans over rice.
