Jake done good! Was gonna be a smarta-- but never mind lol. I won't tell you it's not creole!Smashing the beans is how they do it in creole cooking....very common in New Orleans. Blue Runner Red Beans sells a 'Creole Cream Style New Orleans Spicy' that is just like the plate posted by Jake in this thread....

For canned beans, this is the Louisiana standard...and is made in my home town.
