Here's a list of the ingredients I use:

Ingredients:

1 Pound dry red kidney beans, rinsed and sorted
6 Cups water
5 Regular bouillon cubes (or 1 Tbsp. + 2 tsp. chicken base)
1/4 Pound smoked sausage*, quarted and cut into thin slices 
1 Onion, chopped
4-5 Cloves garlic, minced
1 Tsp Cajun or Creole seasoning (omit this if using Andouille sausage)
3/4 Tsp cumin
3/4 Tsp coriander
3/4 Tsp oregano
1/2 Tsp smoked paprika (omit if using Andouille sausage)
A splash (or two) of hot sauce (optional)

*(Andouille sausage if you can find it), quartered and cut into thin slices. You can also use a large, meaty ham bone.

I know you said you can't open clicky links at work but here is the link to my post if you need it for future reference

My grandmother taught my mother who taught me and all she ever used was onions, salt and pepper and pickled pork.  My mother changes it up a bit and uses a Honeybaked ham bone sometimes, but we really keep it simple.

When I make red beans and rice here, sometimes I use pickled pork, but sometimes I add vegetable stock powder to keep it vegetarian for my husband.
