Sausage N Black Bean Pasta Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare the pasta mix according to package directions. Stir in sausage and black beans; heat through.

Steps:

• In a large sauce pan brown the Italian sausage, add the black beans and Ragu sauce, cover and let simmer for 15 minutes to meld the flavors. Add the tortellini and let warm for 5 minutes. Spoon into a serving bowl and top with sliced avacado.
• Serve with toasted Italian bread rubbed with garlic.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, brown sausage over medium heat; drain. Transfer to a 5-qt. slow cooker. Stir in remaining ingredients except rice. Cook, covered, on low until vegetables are tender, 6-8 hours. Discard bay leaves. Serve with rice.

Steps:

• Heat half the oil in a large pan and cook the sausages for 12-15 mins over a medium heat until brown all over and cooked through. Remove to a plate.
• Drizzle the rest of the oil into the pan and cook the onion and peppers for 10 mins, over a low heat stirring often until all the veg has softened.
• Stir in the garlic, all the spices and the chipotle paste, if using, and cook for another minute. Add the tomatoes, a canful of water, the ketchup and some seasoning. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 mins half-covered with a lid or loosely covered with foil. Stir occasionally, topping up with water if the mixture starts to look too thick.
• Slice the cooked sausages into thick coins and return to the pan, then tip in the beans. Cook for another few minutes until heated through, then spoon into bowls and scatter with coriander leaves, if using, some grated cheese and a dollop of yogurt or soured cream. Serve with tortilla chips for scooping, as a filling for jacket potatoes, or over rice.

Steps:

• In a food processor, mix beans, 1/4 cup sour cream, garlic, and salt. Pulse until smooth.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a small frying pan over medium-high heat for about 30 seconds. Add Jimmy Dean sausage and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until browned, stirring frequently to break up the sausage into small pieces, then drain. Move the sausage to a separate pot and set aside.
• Add the black bean mixture to the Jimmy Dean sausage. Bring to medium heat and stir often until dip is hot, about 5 minutes.
• Spoon the hot dip into a bowl and top with salsa, cheese, remaining sour cream, and cilantro.
• Serve with chips or in a tortilla, and enjoy!
