Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sausage

    In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add sliced Andouille sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove sausage and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add red onions, celery, and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5 minutes until vegetables are softened. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the sausage to the pot. Add the canned red kidney beans (drained), vegetable broth, bay leaves, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Rice

    While the beans are simmering, prepare the seasoned white rice according to package instructions.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove bay leaves from the bean mixture. Serve the red beans over the seasoned white rice.
