Receta Beans and Rice
Ok, don't judge the taste of this dish by the picture. How do you make beans, sausage and rice look appetizing? Every time we head to Florida, my MIL makes us this. Being a Utah girl, and living in my bubble, I had never heard of this dish, until 7 years ago when I made my first trip to Florida to visit my in-laws. I was converted. This is so yummy, and so filling, not to mention, beans are so good for you. If you have beans in your food storage, this is a perfect meal to make!
I wasn't paying much attention when I opened my bag of beans, and I accidently poured black beans into my water, instead of red beans, but this still tasted great.
- 1 2 pound bag of dried beans-black or red
- water
- Keilbasa sausage
- Breakfast sausage
- 1 tablespoon Cajun Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon Garlic Powder
- 1 tablespoon Minced Onions
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
What you will want to do is soak your beans in about 6 cups of water, for 6-12 hours. The longer the better. We try to do ours overnight.
Brown up your breakfast sausage, then drain. Slice up your keilbasa sausage. Rinse and drain your soaked beans. Then dump into your crockpot the beans and sausages. Add about 4 cups of water, and then all of your seasonings. Mix together and cook on low for 4-6 hours. As you are cooking your beans, if you notice that the beans are getting dry, add a little more water. Serve with rice, and a little hot sauce (if you like) and enjoy!
