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!

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.

RED RICE WITH SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS
Steps:
- In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy, about 8 minutes. Add onion, garlic, red pepper, and celery; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until celery is tender, 8 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook until slightly thickened, 3 minutes. Add rice and cook until warmed through, about 2 minutes.
Tips:
- Soak the rice: Soaking the rice before cooking helps to reduce the cooking time and makes the rice more tender. If you don't have time to soak the rice, you can still make the dish, but it will take a little longer to cook.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the rice from burning.
- Don't stir the rice too much: Stirring the rice too much can make it sticky. Stir it gently once or twice during the cooking process.
- Let the rice rest before serving: Letting the rice rest for a few minutes before serving allows the flavors to meld and the rice to absorb any remaining liquid.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Red rice sausage is a delicious dish on its own, but it can also be served with a variety of toppings, such as fried eggs, avocado, salsa, or sour cream.
Conclusion:
Red rice sausage is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It can be served as a main course or a side dish, and it is sure to please everyone at the table.
