I was low in funds, and looked through my cupboards and decided to try my hand at rice and beans. I looked at many recipes, and this is my own spicy version of what I came up with. This can easily be made in a slow cooker/crockpot as well. This made ... More

Ingredients
  • 1 sweet green bell pepper - cut into 1inch chunks
  • 1 jalapeño finely diced
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 cans red kidney beans, rinsed of their canned juices
  • 5 garlic gloves minced
  • 1 Italian dry sausage such as soprasatta, skin removed, sliced thin and halved.
  • 1-1/2 cup rice
  • 3-1/2 cups water/chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons 'better than bullion-chicken flavored' is using water - which is what I did and prefer than using canned chicken stock.
  • fresh cracked pepper
  • olive oil

Directions
  1. In a large pot, pour enough olive oil to coat the bottom.
  2. On medium heat, add diced onions and sliced sausages. Sautee till onions are wilted and starting to be translucent.
  3. Add both peppers and garlic, let cook one minute.
  4. Add beans and rice.
  5. Add fresh cracked pepper, and additional spices you might like - such as cumin, old bay, hot sauce, etc.
  6. Stir till all ingredients are combined.
  7. Then add water/chicken stock/better than bullion - you might need to add additional water, since you want enough water to be at the same height as all the ingredients in your pot.
  8. Cover with lid and put heat onto high.
  9. Let come to a boil, then put down on lowest setting and cook for 25 minutes or until all water has evaporated.
  10. Serve up with a sprinkling of freshly minced parsley and/or chives. I made an amazing twist of reciperules cornbread (link provided) which I used fresh jalapeño versus the chilies and canned corn versus the cream corn as specified in her recipe. It was literally the best corn bread I ever did make.
  11. Photo shown is my dish served along with GR's own Recipesrules' Cornbread Mile High and Moist recipe that I made to go along with the dish: http://www.grouprecipes.com/61838/cornbread-mile-high-and-moist.html

Sounds great! It's nice when ya have most ingredients on hand!


Wow, this sounds and looks fantastic. These are the best recipes the ones that are made up and tried and true. Great post. You have my 5.


This recipe has all the ingredients I love. FIVE cloves of garlic!!? You are my kind of girl, Diva. Do you think some Chorizo sausage would go good in this? I have some in the freezer and its so nice and spicy. I am printing this one off and saving it. Good stuff.
