Chicken Andouille Sausage with Red Beans and Rice

Ingredients:

• 12 oz packet of chicken andouille sausage (cut into half moons)
• rice cooked with chicken broth (for some extra ‘umph)
• 1/4 onion (diced)
• salt and pepper
• garlic powder
• chili powder
• paprika
• cumin
• red pepper flakes
• 3 or so roasted red peppers from a jar (diced)
• 2 cans of red kidney beans
• ~1 tbsp of tomato paste
• ~1 tbsp of olive oil

Saute the sausage and onions in about a tablespoon or so of oil until the onions become soft and translucent (the sausage came pre-cooked, so no need to worry about that). Add the beans and roasted red peppers along with the seasonings to taste. Then add the tomato paste and let simmer for a few minutes (or until you can’t wait any longer). Serve atop the rice you made, and you can also sprinkle some cheese on top (if desired).

Wham. Bam. Thank you ma’am.
