This is one of my dishes to fix and eat for several days without cooking (microwave reheat). The idea is to cook the beans N rice in one pot. It's also a nice side. Recipe to follow.
1 lb of pinto beans simmering (fast version). Beans are put aside in a bowl. Save the water too! That's steam, it's not out of focus!!

Sausage on de Vortex Weber. RO lump and buttonwood

Storm came up, got dark! Glad they were finished (170° int).

Trinity simmering (same pot)

All the seasonings added to the pot, ready to add the beans and water back.

Sausage cut up and Sundried Tomatoes ready to be added to the pot along with the rice and stock.

Finished and ready for plating,

1 lb chicken sausage grilled, cut in 3/4" pieces. Retain any juices (cajun or anduille for more spice)
