Cajun Sausage and Red Beans

Miss Annie's Note:

This is a spicy and zesty dish. You may serve it over rice, or as a soup. This is great served with cornbread, or corn muffins and green onions.

I used kielbasa and skipped the green pepper because I didn't have any. I added about a cup of cooked brown rice half way through cooking. Nice and spicy and leftovers were great.

Delicious! I did add a can of diced tomatoes to cut down on the spiciness of the Rotel. Served it over rice with cheesy cornbread on the side. Perfect.

YUM!!! My husband and I both love this--just the right kick! This is so easy, he can throw it in the crockpot and take it to work and have it ready by dinnertime. Perfect!
