One Pot Red Beans and Rice
Most red beans and rice recipes rely heavily on time to build flavor, but we found a way to get that deep, slow-simmered taste without spending all day at the stove. The trick is layering the heat. We start with the smoky snap of andouille sausage from Mountain View Meat, plus Suan’s Scotch Bonnet Pepper Jelly. It adds a complex, fruity brightness that cuts right through the earthiness of the beans. Finished with a shake of Head Country Championship Seasoning, this dish delivers a serious kick that proves you don’t need to cross state lines for authentic Cajun flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup basmati rice
- 1 package Mountain View Meats andouille sausage, thinly sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced

- 3 (15-Ounce) cans red beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken stock
- 4 tablespoons chopped Scissortail Farms chives
- In a large saucepan cook rice according to package instructions. Set aside.
- Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add sausage and cook, stirring often, until sausage is lightly browned; remove and set aside.
- Add onion, bell pepper, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the Suan’s, garlic, and Head Country Championship Seasoning. Add the red beans, chicken stock, and sausage. Simmer covered for about 10 minutes. Uncover and simmer for an additional 15 minutes. Serve on top of the rice and garnish with the chopped chives.
