In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Add garlic and sausage; cook for another 3–4 minutes until sausage is lightly browned.
04 -
Add red beans, broth or water, bay leaves, thyme, cayenne (if using), salt, and pepper.
05 -
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender and mixture thickens.
06 -
Use a spoon to mash some of the beans against the side of the pot to create a creamier texture, if desired.

# Note utile:

Use canned beans for a quicker version—reduce simmering time to 30–45 minutes.
02 -
Traditional versions often use ham hocks or salt pork for deeper flavor.
03 -
Leftovers freeze well and taste even better the next day.
