Red Beans & Rice w/ Sausage

This dish does not disappoint, I promise it is so good and filling. My family loved it, and it was also fairly quick and easy to make.

 

Ingredients:

1- package of Turkey Sausage (or you can use Smoked Sausage)

2 tbsp. olive oil

1/2-Chopped Onion

1-can of Rotel

1-can of Diced Tomatoes (Oregano/ Basil)

1- can of Chicken Broth

2 tsp. Seasonings (I used my normal salt/pepper/ garlic powder)

1 & 1/2 cups cooked rice

1-can light red kidney beans, rinsed & drained

1-can dark red kidney beans, rinsed & drained



Directions:

 



Slice your sausage

In a large skillet, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and then toss in the sausage and onion. Cook over medium heat until browned. ( If using smoked sausage, you may need to drain).

While the sausage is browning cook your rice, I boil mine until done/ tender.

Then go ahead and drain and rinse your beans-and set them aside 

Return the sausage back to the skillet after draining if you had to. Then add in the Rotel & Diced Tomatoes, and can of Chicken Broth and let that simmer over medium a bit (5-10 minutes).

Then add in your beans, and Rice, mix well then add your seasonings.

Simmer a bit more for about 10-18 minutes allowing the juice to cook down some.

Done (I allowed mine to sit for about 5-8 minutes before serving, during that time I cooked biscuits in the oven.)
