Red Beans and Rice
1 tablespoon Swanson Olive Oil
3 tablespoons Swanson Organic Onion Flakes
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 teaspoon Swanson Organic Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Swanson Organic Thyme Leaves
1/4 teaspoon Swanson Himalayan Crystal Salt
2 Swanson Organic Bay Leaves
4 ounces pre-cooked turkey sausage links, sliced
3 cups Eden Foods Dark Red Kidney Beans
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon Swanson Organic Cayenne Pepper
2 cups hot cooked instant brown rice

Set a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and heat for 30 seconds. Add the onion flakes, green pepper, celery, garlic powder, thyme, salt and bay leaves. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes or until the veggies start to soften. Shift the vegetables to one side of the pan. Add the sausage to the empty side. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until the sausage is lightly browned.

Add the beans and broth. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for about 15 minutes, or until the flavors blend. Remove and discard the bay leaves. Add up to 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper and mix well. Serve over the rice.
