Pressure-Cooker 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. Sausage adds full flavor to the recipe, and traditional pork sausage lovers won't even notice the switch to chicken sausage. -Robin Haas, Cranston, Rhode Island
