Friday's Try a Bloggy Friend's Recipe Day - Week 4

I am having so much fun snooping around all of your blogs to find my Friday recipes! This week I discovered a wonderful and yummy blog called Krista's Kitchen. This blog is full of delicious recipes and weekly meal plans. Krista says that she is a farm girl, turned city girl, turned suburban mom. She holds a degree in Family and Consumer Science Education. Krista credits her talents in the kitchen to years spent cooking with her mom and many years spent in 4-H. If you haven't been to Krista's blog yet, make sure you do so! I know you will love it!



Krista's Red Beans and Rice with Smoked Sausage really caught my eye. I, of course, never can follow a recipe so I just had to put my own little spin on it.

Here is the grocery list:

• 3/4 cup brown rice
• 1 15 ounce can of red beans, drained
  
• 1 10 ounce can of Rotel diced tomato with green chilies
• 1/2 cup smoked Andouille sausage, diced
  
• 1 tsp beef bullion granules
• 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  
• 1/4 tsp white pepper
• 1 1/2 cups water

For garnish:

• sharp cheddar and/or jack cheese
• chopped cilantro
  

Heat 1 tbsp of oil. Add the brown rice and brown for 2-3 minutes, stirring. Add the remaining ingredients (except for the cheese and cilantro). Bring to a boil. Turn heat to low, cover, and cook for 45 minutes.




Serve this garnished with shredded cheese and fresh chopped cilantro.

I was hoping to have leftovers but my husband finished off every last bite!

This dish was easy to prepare and full of wonderful spicy, smoky goodness. A perfect weeknight meal.

Thanks Krista for sharing your recipe!
