Ingredients
1/3 cup diced onion
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
4 ounces chopped kale
1 can (15 ounces) red beans, drained and rinsed
1 turkey smoked sausage, halved lengthwise and sliced into rounds
3 cups cooked brown rice
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
Directions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften and become fragrant.
Stir in the chopped kale and continue cooking for another 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kale wilts and becomes tender.
Add the sliced smoked sausage and drained red beans to the skillet. Toss everything together well and cook for approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is heated through and the ingredients are well combined.
Add the cooked brown rice and Cajun seasoning to the skillet. Mix thoroughly to distribute the seasoning evenly throughout. Continue cooking for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is warmed through and all flavors are well incorporated. Serve hot.
