CAJUN-STYLE BEANS AND SAUSAGE

Cajun-Style Beans and Sausage image

Beans and rice make the perfect meal because they're well-balanced, an excellent source of protein, and easy to prepare. The sausage adds full flavor to the recipe, and traditional pork sausage lovers won't even notice that chicken sausage is used in this dish. -Robin Haas, Cranston, Rhode Island

I love this recipe! It's so flavorful and easy to make. I usually add some chopped bell peppers and onions to the pot and it gives the dish a nice crunch.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.
