Equipment

Large (minimum 5-quart) heavy duty pot w/cover
Sharp knife
Cutting board
measuring spoons

Ingredients

1 lb smoked sausage, sliced into 1-inch discs (andouille sausage or Conecuh sausage)
2 tbsp olive oil
10-oz bag frozen seasoning blend (pre-chopped onion, bell pepper, and celery)*
15.5-oz can red beans (or pinto beans with bacon), undrained
16-oz can Blue Runner Creole Cream Style Red Beans
1 tbsp dried parsley
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp cajun seasoning (such as Tony's)
cooked rice

Instructions

Saute the sliced sausage in the oil until the sausage is slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the onion, bell pepper, and celery seasoning blend. Saute until tender, about 5 minutes (saute 5 additional minutes if using fresh vegetables).
Add the undrained red beans (I prefer the pinto beans with bacon), creole cream style red beans, and seasonings. Mix well and gently simmer, covered, for 5 minutes.
Stir. Serve with hot cooked rice.
*if using fresh veggies, use 1 cup chopped onion, 1 cup diced bell pepper, and 1/2 cup diced celery
