Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 2 celery stalks chopped
  • 12 oz andouille sausage, sliced into ½ inch coins
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tsp Old Bay or other all-purpose seasoning blend
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dry oregano
  • 1 cup white rice
  • 1 15 oz can red beans drained and rinsed

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in your Instant Pot using the saute function. Add the bell pepper, onion, and celery and saute for 2-3 minutes. 
  • Add the sausage and continue to saute for 2-3 minutes. 
  • Stir in the broth and spices. 
  • Add the rice and stir. Press cancel on the Instant Pot and then close the lid. 
  • Pressure cook for 4 minutes, then allow for a 15-minute natural release. Once the natural release is complete, release pressure using the venting knob. 
  • Open the lid and stir in the red beans. Serve!

Notes

  1. This recipe took 10 minutes to reach full pressure in my Instant Pot.
  2. You can use a cajun blend or your favorite all-purpose spice blend instead of Old Bay.
  3. Any andouille sausage can be used in this recipe. I used chicken andouille. 
  4. Store leftovers for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
