Red Beans and Sausage

List of Ingredients




A meal-in-a-pot is a wonderful thing to put on the
dinner table at the end of a complicated day. And it's
even better when the fixing is easy. With red beans
and sausage, you can do the prep the night before
and refrigerate the mixture. It will be ready to bake
when you are.

A green salad and corn sticks are terrific go-alongs.

RED BEANS AND SAUSAGE

1-1/2 Tablespoons olive oil
1-1/2 Tablespoons butter or margarine
2 onions, coarsely chopped
1 celery rib, coarsely chopped
1 green pepper, coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 cup red wine
1 1-lb., 12-ounce can tomatoes, drained and chopped
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 pound smoked kielbasa, cut in 1/2-inch thick slices
2 15-ounce cans red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup bread crumbs
2 Tablespoons melted butter


Recipe



Heat olive oil and butter or margarine in a heavy skillet.
Add onions, celery, green pepper and garlic. Cover and
steam over low heat for 10 minutes. Uncover. Increase
heat to medium and cook until onions are golden and
tender.

Stir in wine, tomatoes, bay leaf, thyme, salt and pepper.
Simmer 10 minutes. Combine kielbasa and kidney beans
and spread in a 13x9x2-inch baking dish coated with
nonstick cooking spray. Pour tomato mixture over the
beans. Sprinkle with crumbs, then drizzle with butter.
Bake, uncovered, in 400-degree oven for about 1 hour.
Discard bay leaf before serving.
