Smoked Sausage with Rice & Beans

About This Recipe

Here is one of the easiest meals you will ever make.  Sausage, rice, and beans is such a classic combination and the frozen broccoli and carrots add an easy source of nutrients.

Ingredients

• 28 oz turkey kielbasa sausage
• 2 ½ cups cooked rice
• 2 ½ cups shredded carrots
• 1 lb frozen chopped broccoli
• 1 can black beans (15oz drained and rinsed)
• ¼ cup cilantro (optional)
• 1 lime (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Cook enough rice to yield 3 cups of cooked rice. (1 cup of dry rice yields around 3 cups of cooked rice)
2. Slice your kielbasa sausage into bite sized pieces and fry in a large skillet until browned.
3. This is all of the cooking that is required for this meal. The carrots, broccoli, and beans will cook in the microwave when you reheat your meal. If you plan on eating the meal right away, microwave the broccoli and carrots and heat the beans in a small sauce pan.
4. This recipe makes 5 servings. Divide all of your ingredients evenly between 5 containers. Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the beans and rice. Serve with a lime wedge if you’d like.
