Instant Pot Red Beans & Rice Ingredients: 1 tablespoon oil 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced 1/4 stick of butter 1 chopped medium oniono 2 stalks chopped celery 1 medium chopped green bell pepper 2 cloves minced garlic 1 lb package red kidney beans 6 cups chicken broth 1 bay leaf## 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp black pepper 1/2 Tbs Cajun seasoning Cooked rice Directions: 1. Rinse and sort beans. Set aside. 2. Press the sauté button on the Instant Pot, and add oil to pot. Add sliced sausage, and sauté for about 5 minutes or until browned. Remove sausage to a paper towel-lined plate and reserve. 3. Add 1/4 stick butter to Instant Pot, along with chopped seasoning blend and garlic, and cook until onions turn soft and clear. 4. Add cooked sausage back to pot, along with the beans, chicken broth, salt, black pepper, Cajun seasoning & bay leaf. Stir well. 5. Cover, twist to lock the lid, and turn the valve to sealing. Turn sauté mode off. Press the manual button and set to 60 minutes at high pressure. 6. When the timer beeps, allow the pressure to release naturally for 20 minutes. Then, turn the valve to venting. 7. Remove lid, and use a spoon or potato masher to mash beans to desired creamy consistency. Add salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning to taste, if needed. 8. Serve over hot cooked rice. You’ll see how I used 2 bay leaves. 1 bay leaf is plenty enough for this recipe. 👍🏼
