Beans and Rice Casserole

By charlotteh371

Ingredients

• 1 8oz package seasoned red beans and rice mix
• 10 cooked reduced fat frozen sausage links, defrosted and sliced crosswise into circles
• 1 large red or yellow pepper, chopped
• 3 cups prewashed baby spinach

Preparation

Step 1

in a dutch oven or a large saucepan bring 3 1/2 cups water to a boil over high heat. add rice and beans mix, sausage and pepper to pot; stir, cover and reduce heat to low. simmer for 20mins or until beans and rice are tender.

remove saucepan from heat and stir in spinach - the heat quickly wilts it. (or reserve the spinach and put it only on plates of those who like it, then top with the rice and beans mixture)
