A hearty side dish or light one-skillet meal, this Cajun Smothered Green Beans With Sausage is naturally ketogenic, low carb and gluten free. (Easily Paleo adaptable.)
Add the Cajun 'trinity' and cook down for 10 minutes. Add sausage, and cook until slightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Add the remaining ingredients to the skillet. Combine ingredients thoroughly.
Cover, and cook over medium low heat for 1 to 1 ½ hours, or until the green beans darken in color, and most of the liquid cooks out.
Notes
I sprinkle salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper liberally over the green beans a few times throughout the cooking process. I feel that this really brings out the natural flavors of the green beans throughout the cooking process, so to duplicate my results you would add SP&C to the green beans roughly every 15 to 20 minutes. Keeps in refrigerator for up to 2 days.Easily make this dish for holiday and/or family gatherings by transforming it into Gluten Free Cajun Smothered Green Bean Casserole.I always use Manda smoked green onion chicken sausage. It comes in 12-ounce packages, so I use 1 ½ packages in each batch.
