How to Make Extremely Easy Louisiana Homestyle Redbeans And Sausage

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown 1 lb Andouille sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds, over medium-high heat. Remove sausage and set aside.
  2. Add 1 large onion, chopped, and 1 green bell pepper, chopped, to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 2 cloves garlic, minced, and cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Add 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 cup chicken broth, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, stir in 2 cups dried red kidney beans (rinsed and picked over), and simmer for 30 minutes, or until beans are tender.
  6. Stir in the browned sausage and 1 bay leaf. Simmer for another 5-10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  7. Remove bay leaf before serving. Serve hot over white rice or Cajun dirty rice.
