This jag recipe has been in my family for years. It is so easy to make. I was worried my kids would not like it, but both of them had second bowls!

Ingredients

½ cup butter
1 pound linguica sausage, cut into cubes
1 large onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 (15.5 ounce) can prepared shelled beans
2 ½ cups water
2 cups uncooked white rice

Directions

Melt butter in a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat; add linguica, onion, bell peppers, black pepper, basil, and oregano. Sauté until vegetables are very tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
Stir beans into linguica-vegetable mixture; cook until beans are softened, about 5 minutes.
Pour in water; stir in rice. Cover the pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is completely absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
