Cajun Red Beans and Sausage (Canning Recipe)

Cajun Red Beans and Sausage (Canning Recipe)

Throw some rice in your rice cooker (or use your favorite stovetop recipe) and heat up a jar of these spicy Cajun red beans with smoky pork and andouille sausage for a hearty, warming dinner in almost no time at all. This pressure-canning meal-in-a-jar recipe is adapted from a tested recipe by Ball. I have changed the seasoning and modified the preparation steps and recipe volume somewhat from the original, while still following safe-canning practices.

Cheese Grits with Venison Summer Sausage and Chocolate Red-Eye Gravy

You can substitute beef or other spicy summer sausage for the venison. This one has cheddar and jalapeno in the sausage, but use what you can get. You can use regular summer sausage to tone down the heat or cut back on the Cajun seasoning.
