Simple Cooking

Sausage and Rice

I feel like I have been cooking (and eating) a lot of the same things lately and decided to veer off track a little and try something different.  I am usually not a big bean person, but decided last week (I am a little behind on my post due to the holidays) that I should try some black beans.  So, I put together a dish that I thought was different (for me at least) and quite tasty.  The dijon mustard that I put in the  dish was something slightly different that I would normally try, but I thought that I would like it paired with the sausage and I found that I did.  Christian said this is a dish that is even better the next day.

Ingredients:

4 smoked turkey sausage links (I used Johnsonville)

1 can of black beans

1 cup of brown rice

2 tsp dijon mustard

Cook the rice according to package adding 1 tsp of dijon mustard.  Cook the sausage in a skillet until heated through.  Add the black beans (drained) to the sausage and cook over medium heat.   Combine sausage mixture with rice.  This serves about  4.
