Beans/Rice/Sausage is a dish I make when I want to put NO effort into dinner whatsoever, so I was a little skeptical of this recipe because it requires a LITTLE effort :) I wasn't sure it'd be worth it... OH MY GOD... SOOOOOO worth it. This is a regular rotation for us because its delicious, filling, 2yo ds and 5yo dd both love it too, and its inexpensive!! Thank you!!

I accidentally bought chicken stock instead of broth, I got the no salt added kind. Turned out great. I added a yellow Bell pepper for the second pepper. Also added about a half tablespoon of garlic. Also used actual red beans. And I used some tomatoes with green Chili's. And I used bold Creole seasoning. The only water I used was what was in the tomatoes. I guess looking at it, I completely changed it. Lol

I love this recipe! I made it into my own recipe since I didn't have all the ingredients for the one above. ( originally was gonna make beef tacos but meat wasn't unthawed and I am pregnant so this was super easy substitute for myself). I used two cans of kidney beans, white rice, cilantro, onions, spinach, and kale. I used thyme leaves, oregano, salt, pepper, salt, basil, and I added hot sauce as well. It came me out great and I would do this again! Thanks for the quick dinner idea on such a short notice!
