-
1 medium onion, sliced
-
2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic (or to taste)

3 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
-
1 large green bell pepper, seeded and chopped

1 -2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes ((optional or to taste, add in for even more heat!)

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
- Add in sausage, onion, garlic and bell pepper with dryed red pepper flakes (if using) brown for 12-15 minutes.
- Mix in the kidney beans with their juices, stewed tomatoes and Creole seasoning.
- Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook until the flavors are all blended and the mixture is very thick (about 40-45 minutes) seasoning with salt and pepper and stirring occasionally.
- You can either add the cooked rice into the bean mixture or spoon the bean mixture on top of the cooked rice in bowls the choice is up to you.
