Do not confuse red beans with kidney beans. Red beans may be
labelled "small red beans" or "small red chili beans" and kidney
beans as "large red beans." You can make red beans and rice with
kidney beans (or other types of beans) but it won't taste the same.

Soak beans overnight. Drain, place in large pot and cover with
water. Add all remaining ingredients to beans except salt and rice.
Bring to boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover,
and simmer until beans are tender, adding more water if necessary.
Add salt to taste. Remove ham bones. Mash down on about 1/3 of the
beans with a potato masher (beans should have a creamy texture).
Simmer 15 more minutes and then serve hot over rice.
