This recipe for Uptown Red Beans and Rice from Zatarain’s is very easy to make and a really tasty one dish meal. It’s also inexpensive and perfect for making a double batch to have leftovers for lunches or a second meal later!
What makes the recipe extra easy is starting with a box of Zatarain’s. Then you only need to add some turkey sausage and a few other ingredients and you have your whole meal!
Ingredients:
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 pound smoked turkey sausage, sliced (we are substituting turkey breakfast sausage)
1 package (8 ounces)
ZATARAIN’S® Red Beans and Rice
3 1/4 cups water
Scallions (green parts only, sliced – for garnish)
NOTE: See my additions below
How to make Uptown Red Beans and Rice with Zatarain’s
1. Heat oil in medium saucepan on medium-high heat. Add sausage; brown on both sides.
2. Stir in Rice Mix and water. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes or until rice is tender, stirring occasionally.
3. Remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
4. Garnish with sliced green onions.
NOTE: To make this a more balanced meal, I would add in a chopped green or red pepper and 1/2 a chopped onion while browning the sausage to get some fresh veggies in the dish. Alternatively, you could serve with a green salad.
