My current version of a classic recipe here is still a work in progress, but it's a pretty good one. This is a meal in itself, and tastes even better the next day when reheated. Ingredients:
6 cups uncooked white rice |
1 pound kielbasa sausage |
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper |
2 pounds lean ground beef |
1/4 onion, minced |
2 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans, drained |
1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, drained |
1 (15 ounce) can pork and beans |
Directions:
1. Prepare the rice in a large pot according to package directions.
2. Cut the kielbasa into 1-inch chunks and quarter the chunks. Place in a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Season with cayenne pepper to taste. Transfer this to the pot with the rice, reserving the grease in the skillet.
3. In the same skillet over medium-high heat, saute the ground beef for 5 minutes. Stir in the rice, and onion; reduce heat to medium and saute for 5 more minutes. Drain well and add to the pot. Stir the kidney beans, pinto beans, and pork and beans into the pot. Add a little water, if necessary, and simmer over low heat until ready to serve.
