I absolutely love to dig through cookbooks and look for new things to make. I happened upon a rice recipe that sounded really good, but it turned out even better. The sausage and black beans, along with a little heat was simply wonderful. Try this next time you fix ribs or chicken for a great side.
Ingredients
  • 2 cups uncooked rice
  • 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped red pepper
  • 1 chopped hot pepper (more or less to taste)
  • 1 tsp. brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 2½ cups chicken stock
  • 1 cup black beans, cooked, rinsed and drained
Instructions
  1. In a 10" Dutch oven, brown sausage over medium high heat. Remove to a bowl and set aside. Add onion, bell pepper and hot pepper to the pot and sauté 5-minutes. Add rice and stir to coat with the vegetable mixture. Add brown sugar, salt, tomatoes and sausage and stir to combine. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20-minutes or until rice is soft. Remove oven from heat and stir-in beans. Cover and let stand for 10-minutes so that the beans can warm through.
