How to Make Cajun Bean And Pasta Stew

  1. In a large 2-quart saucepan, combine 1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 1 (15-ounce) can black beans (drained and rinsed), 1 cup elbow macaroni, 4 cups vegetable broth (or beef broth for a richer flavor), 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 cup chopped green onions.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the macaroni is tender and the flavors have melded.
  4. Before serving, stir in 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil for extra richness (optional). Garnish with additional green onions, if desired.
