Sausage & Red Beans with Cajun Rice

Sausage & Red Beans with Cajun Rice

2 cups long-grain white rice
4 cups water
1 tbsp instant chicken bouillon
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb smoked sausage, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 tsp roasted minced garlic
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1 can sliced stewed tomatoes
2 cans light red kidney beans
1 can dark red kidney beans
2 splashes hot sauce

Combine rice, water, bouillon and cajun seasoning and cook in a rice cooker until done. Keep hot.

In a large skillet, brown the sausage slices in hot olive oil. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels. Keeping only 1 tbsp oil in the pan, add onion and bell pepper and cook about 5 minutes, stirring often. Add garlic and worcestershire sauce and stir well. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Return sausage slices to the mixture and cook 10 minutes more. Serve over Cajun Rice.

This was a spur of the moment creation and it was REALLY good! I'll be making this again.
