San Antonio Skillet


Of the all the recipes I have from my mom, this one is a favorite. It is fast, so easy, and I usually have most of the ingredients in food storage. Perfect for days like today. We finally finished all our cleaning/cleaning out of things. I wanted to put crime scene tape around the kitchen to keep it clean, but accepted that I would have to go back in sometime. Then I remembered that I haven't been to the store for like, 10 days. THEN I found Kielbasa in the freezer and knew what had to be done. Less than an hour later, dinner was served.

San Antonio Skillet
1/2 lb. Keilbasa (or other sausage, but the basa is the best)
1 15oz. can pinto or red beans, drained and rinsed
1 15oz. can stewed tomatoes - any kind
1 cup salsa or picante sauce - any heat
1 cup rice
1+ cup water

  1. Cut the Keilbasa into 1/2 or 1/4 coins. Brown in a large skillet.
  2. Dump in the rest of the ingredients. Stir to mix rice in and break up tomatoes.
  3. Cover and cook on medium heat until rice is tender- 20-25 minutes. Be sure to check in every 8 minutes or so and add more water as necessary.
  4. Serve with cheese, avocado, or (if you are a crazy pregnant woman like me) chunks of jalepeno pepper. Add a salad on the side (or not) and viola!
