Crockpot Red Beans and Rice

It's not Monday, but this red beans and rice crockpot recipe is good any day of the week.

Crockpot Red Beans and Rice

1 lb red kidney beans -- soaked overnight in water
1 1/2 cup white or brown rice
16 oz tomato, stewed
1 ham hock
1 tsp basil
1 tsp Thyme
1 onion -- chopped
2 garlic clove -- OR
1/4 tsp garlic powder
White pepper to taste
Salt to taste
1/2 cup white wine

I put everything in the crockpot at the same time, except for the rice. Turn on high for 4 hours, then on low for 6 hours. During the last 1 1/2 hour, put in the rice. The final ingredient is about 1/2 cup of white wine. You can add this whenever. It is optional, of course. I really like it spicy so I add 1/8 tsp red pepper.
