1 (16 ounce) package smoked sausage
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 celery rib, chopped
1/4 cup chopped parsley (i left this out)
1 (16 ounce) can dark red kidney beans, undrained
1 (16 ounce) can red beans, undrained
2 cups cooked rice
Directions:
1. Slice sausage. Place in a large pan; cover with water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes, covered.
2. Drain water, reserving 1/4 cup. Add black pepper, red pepper, onion, garlic, celery, and parsley to sausage; mix well.
3. Pour in undrained beans and cooked covered for 40 minute over medium to low heat. If desired, mash beans with a wooden spoon. (You can mash some or all of the beans, if you want a creamier texture).
