Cooking Instructions
- 1
De-thaw your pre-cooked Andouille Sausage in microwave and cut pieces at an angle 1" long. Place in oversized pot.
- 2
Large chop all of your vegetables and put in your pot.
- 3
Open and drain your beans and place in pot. Reserve 1 can of Pinto Beans just in case you're one to enjoy a creamy texture in your Red Beans & Rice or a thickener. Simply drain beans and smash with a potato masher and place in your oversized pot with your whole beans.
- 4
Add enough Beef Broth to accommodate your pot mixture. Not too much though. This dish should be viscous or a bit thicker upon serving [unless you're serving dipping bread] so you may not need both boxes.
- 5
Add all of your seasonings and a 1/2 of your extra large bottle of Tabasco. Stir and heat.
- 6
Bring your dish to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Stir intermittently.
- 7
Authors Note: While Crushed Tomatoes aren't indicative to this dish, we find they make an excellent accompaniment!
- 8
Simmer until you think your veggies are well cooked. 2+ hours usually. Continue adding your Beef Broth throughout simmering if this dish becomes too thick.

In a separate pot, bring your Chicken Broth to a boil. Add Dried Chives and White Rice and cook as per the rice bag's directions. Chicken Broth lends a great flavor to bland rice. You can also use Uncle Bens Boil In Bag Rice. Just omit the Dried Chives and make sure to use Chicken Broth instead of water. You also have the option to place the rice directly in your oversized pot with all the other ingredients or on the side. I'll put the rice directly in my oversized pot if the dish is too thin. That step usually thickens this dish right up.

Pull out the Bay Leaves. Also, since the flavors of spices can dissipate with long simmer times, I taste test and add usually add 1/4 + more of my Tabasco bottle, Cajun Seasoning, Italian Seasoning, Garlic and Onion Powder. In general, I'll use 10 oz + of a large 12 oz bottle of Tabasco in this dish.

Simmer another 15 minutes and serve with dipping bread or corn bread and side bottles of Tabasco.

This is sort of a mish mash of red beans and rice and dirty rice. Or like a cheap and quick jambalaya for weeknights.

Monday Red Beans and Rice Monday Red Beans and Rice
In the New Orleans area, Red Beans and Rice is a tradition on Mondays. In times past, leftover meats from Sunday became part of the recipe for Red Beans and Rice. Since there are no leftovers in my house, I have come to rely on Andouille sausage and ham chunks for the meat ingredients. I take short cuts because traditional southern recipes can be an all day long affair for which I do not have time.

I had a bag of dry beans from the panic buying spree when the pandemic lockdowns began, but I never figured out what to do with them before now. I managed to score some Andouille sausage somewhere and found this recipe that seems like it would work with what I got. 🇺🇲 #cajun

Cajun style red beans and rice Cajun style red beans and rice
This is my husband's creation, he's made it for years. Now that I do all the cooking, I make it. I realize it's not an original recipe, only a twist on something pre-made, but it is still delicious either way! *For a non-spicy version use the Kielbasa and no Cajun seasoning, for a little bit of spice use the Andoullie. Also tastes great with chicken.

Another easy, one-skillet dinner. Andouille sausage can be a little spicy, so if you don't want it spicy, use sliced keilbasa or another smoked sausage instead.

Shorty's Red Beans and Rice Shorty's Red Beans and Rice
Traditional red beans and rice. Classic Cajun dish traditionally served on Mondays... Which was because ladies let the beans simmer all day while doing laundry.THIS WILL TAKE ALL DAY, but it’s worth it! You can do some prep that will save you some time. It takes about 5hrs to COOK but the prep (chopping and bean soak) takes about an hour.Start 10am if you’ve done zero prep.Start at noon if you’ve prepped the beans and chopped the veggies and andouille sausage.This freezes really well, so it’s a great dish to make a double-batch and freeze in smaller containers for several later meals.

This was an accidental recipe that I have made now several times and each time I find it amazing! I prefer my red beans spicy and use more Cajun spice than some care for. Season it according to taste and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
