  2. Add the meaty ham bone, chopped onions, chopped bell pepper, chopped celery, chopped parsley, finely chopped garlic, salt, pepper, sugar, and bay leaf to the pot.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until the beans are tender but not mushy.
  4. While the beans cook, brown the sausage links in a separate skillet if desired, then add them to the pot during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  5. Remove the ham bone and bay leaf before serving.
  6. Ladle the hot red beans and sausage over a bed of cooked white rice.
  7. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley just before serving.
