Instructions

Rinse and soak the red beans overnight.
In a large pot, sauté the onion, bell pepper, and garlic until soft.
Add the smoked sausage and cook until browned.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 90 minutes, or until beans are tender.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, substitute smoked sausage with a meat alternative or mushrooms. Stirring in chopped kale or spinach at the end adds nutrition.
