This is the ultimate in thriftiness and convenience – beans in a slow cooker. The long, slow cooking time coaxes all the flavor from the sausage into the beans for a mild yet full-flavored dish.
Ingredients
3 cups water
1 cup dried red kidney beans
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon paprika
3/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 (14-ounce) package turkey, pork, or beef smoked sausage
1 bay leaf
5 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups hot cooked long-grain rice
1/4 cup chopped green onions
Instructions
Combine first 12 ingredients in an electric slow cooker. Cover with lid; cook on high heat for 5 hours or low heat for 8 hours. Discard bay leaf; stir in salt. Serve over rice; sprinkle servings evenly with green onions.
