Debz Red beans and rice

Heat pan or dutch oven to med to med high with oil. Chop onion, garlic and kielbasa. Add to the pan while oil is heating other wise chop ingredients ahead of time and wait for the oil to get hot. Add all to the hot pan. Saute about 10 - 15 min.

Add chicken broth and red beans (with its juice) and seasoning, stir well.

Cook until boiling then bring boil to med high for 45 min. Depending on how long your rice cooker takes, get that going too.

Allow the red beans to "marry" in the pan. The longer you cook, the thicker the sauce gets.

* If you don't have 3 cans of red beans, one of those cans can be black beans.

*Add green pepper or jalepenos or even chopped up carrots to step 1. Imagination is key, flavor and nutrition is number one. Just do it, get creative.
