Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups Brown Rice
3 cups water
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 lb Organic Turkey Sausage, sliced approximately 1/2 inch rounds
3 cans of red beans, rinsed (I only use one 15 oz can and that is plenty)
1 1/2 c Organic, Low Sodium Chicken Broth
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp sea salt

Directions:
1. Bring 3 cups of water and 1 1/2 cups Brown Rice to boil in a pot over medium high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, place a lid on pot and let cook for approximately 45 minutes.
2. In a large saute pan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Once oil is warm, add onion, garlic and organic turkey sausage. Saute until onions brown and become clear.
3. In saute pan, add red beans, organic low-sodium chicken broth, cayenne pepper, chili powder, black pepper and sea salt. Stir together. Cook on medium for 30-45 minutes.

Serve bean/sausage combo over the brown rice and enjoy! Let me know what you think!
