Cajun Sausage and Red Beans

Description: This is a spicy and zesty dish. You may serve it over rice, or as a soup. This is great served with cornbread, or corn muffins and green onions.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced into 1/2 inch pieces
• 1 (16 ounce) can red kidney beans, drained
• 1 can Rotel tomatoes & chilies (I use extra hot, but use mild, or original if you like)
• 1 cup green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1/4 cup chicken broth or 1/4 cup water
• 2 tablespoons italian seasoning
• Tabasco sauce, to taste (or serve on the side)

Steps:

1. Combine all ingredients in crockpot.
2. Cover and cook on low 7-8 hours.
3. May be served over cooked rice, if desired, or as a thick and zesty soup.
