With Mother Nature not sure what she's going to do, I'm finding that I'm still making winter comfort foods instead of bright springie delights. This is a dish my family enjoys on these damp cold days.
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound bulk pork sausage
- 1/3 cup chopped onion
- 1/3 cup chopped green pepper
- 1 celery rib, sliced
- 1 garlic clove, minted {or to taste}
- 1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
- 3/4 cup canned kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. chili powder
- 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 1/8 tsp. hot pepper sauce
- 2 cups hot cooked rice
Directions
In a large skillet, cook the sausage, onion, green pepper, celery and garlic over medium heat until sausage is no longer pink; drain. Add the tomato sauce, beans, water, garlic powder, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, pepper and pepper sauce; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until flavors are blended. Serve over hot cooked rice.
3 to 4 servings
