@dollartreedinners: Dinner #3 in our Dollar Tree dinner series, 4 dinners for $20 total! This one is Red Beans and Rice, made with our second smoked sausage link and seasoned with Cajun flavors. I used dry beans to save money, but you can totally use canned to save time. Ingredients: 1 12 oz. bag dry red kidney beans (or 3 cans if using canned) 1 smoked sausage link (from a 2-pack) 1/3 bag frozen seasoning blend Cajun seasoning (to taste) 2-3 tbsp oil Cooked white rice for serving If using canned beans: 2 cans red kidney beans (rinsed and drained) 1 can red kidney beans (blended with liquid) Instructions: Dice smoked sausage and brown in a pot with oil. Add 1/3 bag frozen seasoning blend and cook until water evaporates. Season with Cajun spice to taste (go heavier here—rice will balance it). Stir in 2 cans of rinsed kidney beans. Blend the third can (liquid included) and add to the pot. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Serve over cooked white rice. Great for meal prep too! Optional: I can post a separate tutorial for how to sort, soak, and cook dry beans if you want to make it even more budget-friendly. #dollartreefinds #budgetmeals #dollartreemeals #EasyRecipes #feedafamily #budgetfriendly #redbeansandrice #cajunrecipes #cheapmeals #pantrymeals #dinneronabudget #lowcostmeals #dollarstoredinner #mealonabudget #leftoverfriendly #budgetcooking #mealprepidea
