Full of flavorful, filling ingredients. Switch to a chicken-based Italian sausage if the andouille is too spicy for your taste.
List of Ingredients
1 clove(s) (medium) garlic clove(s), minced
1 medium uncooked red onion(s), chopped
1 rib(s) (large) uncooked celery, rib, chopped
1 medium green pepper(s), chopped
15 oz canned kidney beans, dark-variety, rinsed and drained
14 1/2 oz canned diced tomatoes, undrained
9 oz cooked chicken sausage(s), andouille-style, cut into bite-size pieces
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp black pepper
6 cup(s) fat free chicken broth
1 cup(s) uncooked white rice, converted-variety recommended Recipe
Place garlic, onion, celery, bell pepper, beans, tomatoes with their juices and sausage in a 5-quart slow cooker. Add thyme and pepper; stir well.
Pour in broth and rice; stir again. Cover slow cooker and set on high power; cook for 4 hours. Yields about 1 1/2 cups per serving.
Notes
We recommend converted rice because regular long-grain rice can become mushy in slow cooker recipes.
To turn up the heat, add 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper with the thyme.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
