THE EASIEST HOT SAUSAGE & KIDNEY BEANS WITH RICE



The Easiest Hot Sausage & Kidney Beans With Rice image

This is my go-to, super-easy weeknight dinner. Hot Links, canned kidney beans, onions, peppers, and jar salsa...doesn't get any simpler than that! This recipe allows for mindless "slap it together" nights or nights when you want to take a little more effort and make it *really* yummy!

Provided by firealarmqueen

Categories     Rice

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

cooked rice (for 4)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 green bell pepper, deseeded and chopped
1 onion, peeled and chopped (yellow or sweet)
15 ounces kidney beans, drained
hillshire farm beef hot links (6 sausages)
salsa

Steps:

  • Get your rice started so that it'll be finished cooking when you are ready to eat.
  • Slice the Hot Links lengthwise and then cut into bite-sized pieces.
  • Peel your onion & de-seed the pepper. Cut the green pepper and onion into 1/2 inch chunks (you could also do strips, if you prefer).
  • Heat your oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add your peppers and onions and cook until they are the desired "done-ness" (I prefer mine well-cooked, so I occasionally pop them in the microwave for a minute or two to speed up the cooking process.).
  • Remove peppers & onions from skillet (place in a bowl until later).
  • Place sausage in skillet and cook until desired "done-ness" (we like ours nearly "blackened" with a bit of crisp on the outside).
  • Drain most of the oil from skillet and then return onions/peppers. Add the can of kidney beans (drained).
  • Continue cooking for several minutes to heat the beans and get some of the sausage flavor in the veggies.
  • To serve: spoon a scoop of cooked rice on each plate/bowl (this is a bowl meal at our house!) Then top with the sausage mixture. A hearty spoonful (or two) of salsa on top finishes it off!
  • This is usually from cabinets/fridge to plate in about 30 minutes. This time-range depends on how well cooked you like the vegetables, if you do any pre-cooking in the microwave, etc.
  • In our house this recipe, as indicated above, serves 2 adults and 2 children (under the age of 3), with one serving leftover. I estimate that to serve *about* four.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beans: For the best flavor and texture, use dry kidney beans that have been soaked overnight. You can also use canned kidney beans, but be sure to rinse them well before using.
  • Don't skip the roasting step: Roasting the kidney beans before adding them to the salsa gives them a slightly smoky flavor that really enhances the dish. Plus, it helps to remove some of the starch from the beans, which makes them less likely to become mushy.
  • Use fresh, flavorful ingredients: The fresher the ingredients you use, the better your salsa will taste. Look for ripe tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. You can also add other vegetables to your salsa, such as corn, bell peppers, or jalapeños.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste your salsa before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lime juice.
  • Let the salsa chill: Chilling the salsa for at least 30 minutes before serving allows the flavors to meld together. This will give you the best-tasting salsa.

Conclusion:

Kidney bean salsa is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It's perfect for dipping chips, tacos, burritos, and other Mexican dishes. You can also use it as a topping for salads, grilled chicken, or fish. No matter how you choose to enjoy it, kidney bean salsa is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer or snack, give kidney bean salsa a try. You won't be disappointed!
