I cannot find the red beans and rice recipe I had from a Louisiana cooking class I took while in Louisiana. I'd love an authentic, tried and true, red beans and rice recipe.

New Orleans-Style Red Beans and Rice Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2004 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 cup chopped onions 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers 1/2 cup chopped celery 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 teaspoon dried thyme 2 bay leaves 1 pound boiled ham cut, into 1/2-inch cubes 6 ounces smoked sausage, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch slices (1 cup) 1 pound dried red beans, rinsed and sorted through, soaked overnight and drained 3 tablespoons chopped garlic 8 to 10 cups water Steamed rice Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute the onions, bell peppers, celery, salt, cayenne, black pepper and thyme for about 5 minutes. Add the bay leaves, ham and sausage and saute for 5 to 6 minutes. Add the beans, garlic, and enough water to cover the contents in the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally for about 2 hours. Add more water if the mixture becomes dry and thick. Use a wooden spoon to mash about half of the mixture against the side pf the pot. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 1 1/2 hours, or until the mixture is creamy and the beans are soft. Add more water if it becomes too thick. The mixture should be soupy but not watery. Remove the bay leaves and serve with steamed white rice.

Looks interesting, but I'm really looking for a recipe somebody here has made and really likes. That one does look yummy though.
