Ingredients

  • 1 pound dried kidney beans (soaked overnight in water)
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound smoked pork or bacon, chopped like lardons
  • 1 pound kielbasa sausage, chopped into bite size pieces

How To Make kidney beans and kielbasa stew

  • Step 1
    Drain kidney beans and place in a dutch oven.
  • Step 2
    Add everything except for the sausage. Sausage will be added at the very end.
  • Step 3
    Cook on high heat until it boils. Lower temperature to simmer. Cook until kidney beans are bite tender and the stew has become thick. Add more water if necessary.
  • Step 4
    Add the sausage and stir stew. Turn off heat and serve.
  • Step 5
    I usually serve this with steamed rice and jalapeño cornbread.
