Pinto Bean & Andouille Sausage Stew Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by PineyCook

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound dry pinto beans
1 tablespoon peanut oil, or canola oil
12 ounces andouille sausage, diced
3 slices bacon, chopped
1 cup diced onions
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 cup diced red bell pepper
1 cup diced green bell pepper
1-3 teaspoons minced chile pepper, such as serrano or jalapeño
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
4 large ripe plum tomatoes, seeded and diced or one undrained 14 oz can petite diced tomatoes
8 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons freshly grated lime zest
Juice of 1/2 lime

Steps:

  • Pick over beans to remove any pebbles or broken beans and rinse under cold water. Place in a bowl, cover with 3 inches of cold water and soak for at least 6 hours or overnight. Heat oil in a large heavy casserole or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add sausage and bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is almost crisp, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a small bowl and set aside in the refrigerator. Add onions cook, stirring, over medium heat, until soft and lightly brown, 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add bell peppers and chile pepper to taste; continue to cook, stirring, until the mixture is soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in paprika. Add tomatoes and cook until they release their juice, about 2 minutes. Drain the beans. Stir the beans and 8 cups water into the pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour. Stir in the reserved sausage and bacon along with salt and pepper. Continue simmering, adding a little water if the beans are dry, until the beans are very soft and beginning to break down, about 30 minutes more. Stir in lime zest and juice.

This stew was easy to make and very affordable. I used canned beans and sausage, and it still turned out great. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used tofu instead of andouille sausage. The stew was still very flavorful and delicious. I served it over quinoa and it was a great meal.

This stew was delicious, but it took a little longer to cook than the recipe said. I had to let it simmer for about 2 hours before the beans were fully cooked.

This stew was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I will use less cayenne pepper.

This stew was easy to make and very flavorful. I used chicken sausage instead of andouille and it was still delicious. I served it over rice and it was a perfect meal for a cold night.

I followed the recipe exactly and the stew was delicious. I especially liked the addition of the cornbread crumbs at the end. They added a nice crunch and sweetness to the dish.

I made this stew in my slow cooker and it turned out great! I let it cook on low for 8 hours and the meat was fall-apart tender. The flavors were amazing and my family loved it.
