  1. Begin by rinsing the beans and then covering with boiling salted water. Let soak for several hours or overnight.

  3. Cook over medium heat until tender and the juice has thickened about 1 to 1½ hours.
  4. When the beans are almost done, saute the onion, peppers and celery in the olive oil until softened.
  5. Add in the ground beef and cook until no longer pink. Stir in the Cajun seasoning and salt and pepper.
