Cooking Instructions

30 min
  1. 1

    Dice onion and red bell pepper and place in small bowl; set aside.

  2. 2

    Slice the sausages into coins and place in a large pan with a little olive oil. Cook over medium heat until coins start to brown.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, in large pot place rice, 3 cups of the chicken broth and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil.

  4. 4

    Once boiling, reduce heat to medium low and cover. Simmer until rice is fully cooked.

  5. 5

    Add chopped onion and bell pepper to sausage. Add minced garlic. Saute over medium heat until veggies slightly cook down; about 5 to 7 minutes.

  6. 6

    Add remaining 1 cup of chicken broth, red beans, worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, creole seasoning and pepper to sausage mixture. Bring to a boil.

  7. 7

    Reduce heat to medium low and simmer uncovered until sauce thickens and reduces down slightly; about 10 minutes.

    Serve over rice. Enjoy!

  9. 9

    Side note for this dish: seasonings and sauces can be adjusted to taste. Simply add more creole seasoning if you wish. Same goes with the hot sauce if you like more of a kick. I find myself spoon testing this dish frequently to fine tune it!
