CAJUN-STYLE BEEF AND BEANS

I make this recipe for my husband for lunch. He loves the Cajun Style Sausage and Rice, however it plays havoc on his stomach at times but I found this recipe doesn't do that and he enjoys it almost as much. If you like cheese it also tastes very good with some sprinkled on the top after you remove it from the oven.

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup chopped white onion
2 cups beef broth
1 1/2-2 teaspoons cajun seasoning (I used Low-Sodium Cajun Seasoning)
1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, drained
1 cup white rice (NOT instant)

Steps:

In a medium sized skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef and onion until meat is lightly browned.
Drain grease from meat and onion,return to skillet.
Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil over high heat.
After reaching a rolling boil,cover with lid and cook on low for 25 minutes.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast, bottom round roast, and brisket are all good choices for this recipe. These cuts are tough, but they become tender when cooked slowly in a liquid.
Brown the beef before cooking. Browning the beef adds flavor and helps to keep it moist.
Use a variety of beans. This recipe calls for black beans, pinto beans, and kidney beans, but you can use any type of beans you like. Great Northern beans are a good affordable choice.
Add vegetables to the pot. Vegetables such as onions, bell peppers, and carrots add flavor and nutrition to the dish.
Season the dish to taste. This recipe calls for a simple combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder, but you can add other seasonings to taste, such as chili powder, cumin, or cayenne pepper.
Cook the dish on low heat. This allows the flavors to develop and the beef to become tender.
Serve the dish with your favorite sides. Rice, cornbread, or a salad are all good choices.

Conclusion:

This Cajun beef and beans recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover beef.
