Cajun Pinto Beans image

I was given this recipe by a friend and it was described as a side dish, so I changed up the recipe to how it is listed now to make it a main dish. And it is good! Next time I will increase the beans to "three cans" but will use my pressure cooked beans, and will update the recipe as well.

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 can(s) pinto beans, drained, (15 oz / 425 g each), or cook from dry beans
500 gram(s) bulk pork sausage, (1 lb)
4 clove(s) garlic, minced
1 onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1-2 teaspoon(s) cajun seasoning
1/2 cup(s) large green chilies, roasted, peeled, chopped
2 roma tomatoes, diced

Steps:

  • Prepare the beans either by draining, rinsing, and draining canned beans, or using cooked beans from dry. For the dry beans, use a heaping half cup of dry beans for each can needed. I use a pressure cooker to prepare the beans.
  • In a large non stick pan on medium heat, add the sausage, garlic, and onion. Break up the sausage as it cooks, and cook until just a little pink is visible.
  • Add the bell pepper, green chilies, tomatoes, and mix together.
  • Add the beans and Cajun seasoning. I use a homemade Cajun seasoning. Mix together. Simmer, mixing occasionally, until the bell pepper is tender.
  • Serve and enjoy.
