Magic Beans and Rice

This recipe is an invention of my brother-in-law's who is from the south, so I guess it should really be called Don's Red Beans and Rice, but where's the fun in that! It is a favorite for our family gatherings. Tastes excellent on rice. Besides, this just might be the easiest meal you've ever poofed together.


1 Hillshire Farm Smoked Sausage sliced
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/4 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped green bell peppers
2 - 8 oz cans of "magic" red beans un-drained and slightly mashed up
Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning to taste

Brown sausage slices in a skillet. Add vegetables to skillet and sauté in pan. Do not drain fat. Add red beans and seasoning. Let simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve on top of white rice. Enjoy!

This really is delicious and gets eaten up at family gatherings. It is super easy to make with just a few simple ingredients so it is a great one to make for pleasing large crowds. Plus it is budget friendly and is packed with nutrition. So it is a success from every angle.
