RED BEANS AND RICE WITH SAUSAGE
This recipe was given to me by my sister. It's a hearty dish, and wonderful for the cold winter months. To make a little meatier, I cut up a small ham steak in cubes and add the cubed ham the last 20 minutes. Serve over cooked rice.

AUTHENTIC AND QUICK RED BEANS AND RICE (WITH ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE)
I modified this from an authentic Louisiana Red Beans & Rice recipe because I didn't have time to soak dried beans. This still has all the flavor, but is faster since it uses canned beans. A nice touch is to use both light and dark kidney beans and to crumble some sausage into the mix. People will ask you for the recipe for this one!

Steps:
- Heat one cup of water and soak bay leaves in the water for at least 30 minutes.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced celery and cook 1-2 minutes. Then add diced Onion, bell pepper, and garlic and cook 3-4 minutes.

Remove the bay leaves from the hot water and add the seasoned liquid to the pot. (If the bay leaves have not soaked long enough, you can add them later). If additional liquid is needed, add some of the reserved liquid from the beans or a small amount of water.
- In the same skillet you sauteed vegetables in, add Andouille sausage and cook over medium heat. You can slice the sausage then cook it or cook whole sausage then let cool and slice.

At this point, you can add Goya brand Sofrito (a sauce used to season soups and stews) or 1 packet Sazon Goya (a seasoning packet that contains MSG) if desired. You can find Goya products in the Mexican food aisle of the grocery store.
- Add additional water, salt, pepper, or Creole seasoning to taste, if needed.
- Meanwhile, prepare the rice. In a saucepan, put 1 Tablespoon butter, and 2 cups water for every one cup dry rice and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Serve beans over steamed white rice. Serve Louisiana Hot Sauce at the table, if desired.

RED BEANS AND RICE WITH SAUSAGE
I made this with what I had lying around and it was AWESOME! You could use any kind of bean or meat or seasoning combination, this was just what I happened to have. What about black beans, steak strips, and taco seasoning? Also, adding some other veggies would probably jazz it up quite a bit.
