Red Rice, Beans, and Sausage
(the sodium of hte turkey kielbasa can be kind of high, so I don't add salt. The up-side is when I need a 10 minute recipe, this is it)
1 turkey kielbasa or low fat sausage, sliced thin
~ 1/2 small box instant brown rice
1 can manwich, plus one can water
1 can black beans, drained,
1 can Mexicorn
seasonings to taste: onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, pepper, cumin
1 large minced onion
Spray a large non stick elec frying pan. Saute onion and meat. Add all other ingredients. Simmer til thickened. Top with low fat grated mexican blend or cheddar.
I can't get past the texture of the turkey sausage. I do wish they had one that felt like "real" sausage in my mouth. Have you tried the boiling bag brown rice? They have it in a two person size and a "family" size with 4 servings I think. It only takes 10 minutes in boiling water and I like it better than the instant. Real brown rice takes 45 minutes and I rarely want to invest that much time in it! I love the idea of using the Manwich for the sauce ...
