One-Pot Red Beans and Rice



Since our "kitchen" is fairly small, we mostly make one-pot dinners.
Always on the look-out for tasty and relatively easy dishes,
I came across this gem a while back and wanted to share it.

I found it on Elly Says Opa and slightly modified her
Quicker (and Lighter) Red Beans and Rice recipe.

If you're interested, the few modifications I made were:
-turkey sausage instead of andouille
-low sodium, low fat chicken broth
-the ingredients list says 1 T of creole seasoning, divided, but the recipe itself only ever
calls for 1/2 T which is plenty in my opinion since creole seasoning can be a bit salty

We've made this dish about five times and love it just as much,
if not more, every time we make it.

One night, when we were cooking at Jeff and Marissa's, we tried this awesome
Tilapia with Lemon Pesto and Oven Roasted Tomatoes dish also from Elly Says Opa.
Divine and SO easy!

Guten Appetit!

That looks delicious! And what a great website! As a fellow hotel-dweller, this looks like an easy thing to make with a limited kitchen! Thanks for sharing )
