How to Make Cajun Sausage And Red Beans
- Brown 1 lb Cajun sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove sausage and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of rendered fat.
- In the same skillet, sauté 1 medium onion (chopped) and 1 green bell pepper (chopped) in the reserved sausage fat until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add 2 cloves garlic (minced) and 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning; cook for 1 minute more.
- Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans (rinsed and drained), 1 (15 ounce) can red beans (rinsed and drained), 4 cups chicken broth, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1 bay leaf.
- Add the browned sausage to the skillet.
- Transfer the mixture to a slow cooker.
- Cook on low for 7-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the beans are tender.
- Remove the bay leaf before serving.
- Serve hot over cooked rice, as a soup, or with cornbread and green onions.
