Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 14-ounce kielbasa sausage
  • 1 14.5-ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 15.5-ounce can black beans drained and rinsed
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ cup beef broth
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • rice, cooked for serving (see notes)
  • fried eggs for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Slice kielbasa in ¼" rounds. Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add kielbasa and sauté until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. If you're using a sausage with a higher fat content, feel free to drain excess fat at this point.
  • Add tomatoes and rinsed beans, stirring to combine.
  • Add pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and broth. Stir.
  • Bring to a low simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly. Tip: As it's simmering, use a flexible spatula or wooden spoon to smash some of the beans- like pancakes. The smashed beans will thicken the mixture.
  • Remove from heat and serve over hot rice. If desired, you can throw a fried egg on each serving, too!

Notes

  • For added convenience, use pre-cooked bagged rice that heats up in the microwave in 90 seconds.
