Equipment
- 1 Pressure cooker
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 1 lb smoked sausage cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 small onion chopped
- 3 green onions chopped
- 1-2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- ½ teaspoon creole seasoning like Tony’s Chachere’s Original
- 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes with mild green chilies, undrained
- 1 (15 ounce) can black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth
- 1 cup long grain rice not instant
- water as needed
Instructions
Instructions
- Step one, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. You gotta get it hot enough to sizzle but not burn.
- Next, toss in the smoked sausage and chopped onion. Stir them around and cook until the onions get translucent and the sausage pieces brown up nicely.
- Now add your minced garlic and creole seasoning. Stir it up real good and let it cook for about a minute so those flavors start talking to each other.
- Grab your pressure cooker pot and dump in the sausage mixture along with the Rotel tomatoes (undrained), black beans, chicken broth, and rice.
- Give it a stir so everything mixes up. Then seal that lid tight with the sealing ring in place.
- Set your cooker on high pressure for about 8 minutes. When the timer goes off, let it do a natural release for about 10 minutes. This slow release helps the rice finish cooking and soak up all the broth depth.
- Once done, open the lid carefully, garnish with chopped green onions, and you’re ready to dig in.
Notes
Serve with garnished green onions for extra freshness. Perfect for saving as leftovers for easy meals throughout the week.
