Today, we share a one-pot meal.
One-Pot Cajun Sausage & Beans
- 1 package of beef smoked sausage
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 onion
- 1 green pepper
- 1 TBS minced garlic
- 1 TBS dried basil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 TBS Creole seasoning
- 1 tsp Kinder’s Garlic & Herb
- Few dashes of Tabasco Sauce
- 1 can of undrained pinto beans
- 1 can of tomato sauce
- Cut the smoked sausage into 1-inch rounds. Chop the onion and green pepper (larger chunks).
- Add oil to the Dutch oven and sauté the sausage until brown. Add onions, green pepper, garlic, and all seasonings. Stir frequently until vegetables are just tender.
- Add tomato sauce and pinto beans.
- Cook for 20 minutes.
- Prepare your favorite rice (I use Jasmine).
- Serve the mixture over rice and enjoy.
Serves 3-4. Double the recipe for a larger crowd or meal prep. A nice addition is sautéed shrimp!
