cajun pinto beans
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.

How To Make cajun pinto beans
-
Step 1Prepare 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. -
Step 2In 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.
-
Step 3Add the bell pepper, green chilies, tomatoes, and mix together.
-
Step 4Add the beans and Cajun seasoning. I use a homemade Cajun seasoning. Mix together. Simmer, mixing occasionally, until the bell pepper is tender.
-
Step 5Serve and enjoy.
