Needed: Red Beans & Rice Recipe

[BRDof3...Rob 40]

I need a good homemade RB&R recipe. Living in the Midwest, I haven't had the real thing since Louisana, 22 years ago.

I stole this off of the Internet. I wanted something quick and tasty. And it's both.

2 tablespoons olive oil $

2 (3-ounce) chicken andouille sausage links, chopped

1 (8-ounce) container prechopped onion, bell pepper, and celery mix

1 1/2 teaspoons salt-free Cajun seasoning

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

2 garlic cloves, minced $

1 (15-ounce) can red beans, rinsed and drained

1/4 cup water

1 (14.5-ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper $

4 cups hot cooked long-grain rice

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and onion mix to pan; sauté 4 minutes. Add Cajun seasoning, salt, oregano, and garlic to pan; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Partially mash beans with a fork. Add beans, 1/4 cup water, and tomatoes to pan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat; stir in pepper. Serve over rice.
