EASY STOVETOP RED BEANS AND RICE

Before anyone thinks they're experiencing deja vu all over again, I admit it.  This is my third recipe for red beans and rice.  What can I say?  We really like red beans and rice.  There is a difference this time.  Before, they were slow cooker recipes.  But, for once, I cooked them on the stove instead.  And you probably didn't think I could even find it.  

EASY STOVETOP RED BEANS AND RICE

Serves 4

Olive oil cooking spray
14 oz. package Smoked Sausage, sliced into 1/2" pieces
1 small onion, minced
1 clove of garlic,minced
¼ c diced green pepper
¼ c Cajun seasoning
15.5 oz. can of kidney beans, undrained
1 15.5 oz can diced tomatoes
dash of hot sauce
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Spray medium size cast iron skillet with cooking spray.  Saute garlic, green pepper, Cajun seasoning and onions about 2 minutes.  Add smoked sausage; stir for 2 minutes. Add beans, tomatoes, salt, pepper,  and hot sauce. Bring to just before boiling, lower heat, cover and simmer for about 25 minutes.  Serve with or over white rice.

SPRING CLEANING BOOK GIVEAWAY
As a book blogger/reviewer, dedicated bibliophile, and just plain serious reader, I have way too many books around here.  Therefore, it is necessary to start clearing some of these bookshelves around here.  For the next few weeks, I will be doing a couple of book giveaways a week.  The giveaways will begin each Saturday and end on Friday midnight of that week.  Unless otherwise noted, these books are my VERY CAREFULLY read review copies.  So, technically, they are used, but you can hardly tell it.  Ask anyone in my family; I'm a nut regarding the way I read books.  I try not to open them too widely,or leave them splayed open, and I never!!! fold pages down.  Yes, I have issues, but it's going to pay off for some of you. : )
THIS WEEK'S GIVEAWAY
