1 lb smoked link sausage
0 - ham hocks (optional)

Prepare black beans according to instructions on bag for quick cooking, drain, then cook in pressure cooker. Fry/steam the smoked link sausage in a frying pan, drain, and cut into small pieces. To the beans add the sausage, ham hocks, onions, tomato & green chilis, creole seasoning, and chopped tomatoes. Cook long and slow, simmering until sauce thickens. If you use a crock pot, leave beans uncovered so sauce can cook down. Serve over rice with salsa and sour cream.
