This dish always brings back memories of New Orleans road trips. It's comforting, yet humble and sophisticated. —mtlabor
Ingredients
-
1 cup
jasmine rice
-
2
large smoked sausages, cut into slices
-
1
onion, chopped
-
1 cup
celery, chopped
-
2
cans chili beans with chili sauce
-
1
can diced tomatoes, undrained
-
1 tablespoon
Cajun seasoning
Directions
-
Start with your rice. Add rice and chicken stock to medium pot and cook under medium heat, or according to package directions.
-
In a large skillet under medium high heat, add sausage, onion, and celery. Cook until sausage starts to brown and onion and celery soften, about 5 minutes. These three ingredients I think really bring a whole lot of flavor to the dish and I wouldn't recommend substituting them or leaving them out.
-
Stir in both cans of beans and tomatoes. Then add enough Cajun seasoning to your liking. Lower the heat a tad, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes.
-
By then, your rice is probably done or close to it, so uncover bean mixture and stir in rice. Heat entire mixture until hot all the way through. Serve hot on a plate and dig in!
