How to Make Cajun Style Beef And Beans

  1. In a medium-sized skillet over medium heat, brown 1 lb of ground beef and 1 medium onion (chopped) until the meat is lightly browned.
  2. Drain off any excess grease from the skillet.
  3. Stir in 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1 (15-ounce) can of kidney beans (or red beans), rinsed and drained, 1 (15-ounce) can of diced tomatoes, undrained, and 1/2 cup beef broth. Bring to a boil over high heat.
