Easy and quick meal when you are craving the classic!

To make a chili version just use red, green an yellow bell as well as a med poblano

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.

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

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

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.

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!

This taste great with my Corn Mocque Choux recipe.

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.
