How to Make Red Beans And Rice With Sausage

  1. Cut 1 pound of smoked sausage into 1/4-inch thick slices.

  3. Reserve 1 teaspoon of sausage drippings in the Dutch oven.
  4. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 celery stalks, chopped, to the Dutch oven. Sauté in the reserved drippings over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes.
  5. Stir in 2 cloves garlic, minced, 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, and 1 cup long-grain white rice.
  6. Sauté for 3 minutes.
  7. Stir in 4 cups chicken broth, 1 (15-ounce) can red beans (drained and rinsed), 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning.
  8. Bring to a boil.
  9. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until rice is tender.
  10. Remove from heat. Stir in the cooked sausage and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
  11. Let stand, covered, for 10 minutes (stand time is not included in cook time).
  12. Serve hot with your favorite hot sauce, if desired.
