Soak beans or use quick method on the package. Cook bacon and breakfast sausage patties. SAVE THE GREASE. Eat the bacon or save for some other use. Crumble the breakfast sausage and set aside. Put chopped veggies in bacon/sausage fat. Saute until tender. Drain beans and rise the soak water off. In dutch oven (aka large soup pot) place beans, water to cover well and sauteed veggies. Bring to boil and let simmer a minimum of 3 hours making sure the beans are always below the water line. When beans are cooked, saute all the remaining sausages until they are warm then add water and bring to a quick boil. Pour in to the pot with the beans. Crumble the breakfasts sausages and add. Add more water, Tomato bouillon, Paprika, Ro-tel tomatoes, salt. Turn off heat and let cool down. Cook 2 cups rice as directed. Before adding cooked rice to the big pot, remove the celery stalks. Add water to accommodate the new addition and add salt to taste. Don't over stir. Shouldn't be soupy. C'est Bon!
