CROCKPOT WEDNESDAY

Today's recipe is from COOKING LIGHT and is an inexpensive dish to make. The long, slow cooking time really brings out the flavor in the sausage. It can also be cooked on low for 8 hours.

RED BEANS AND RICE
3 c. water
1 c. dried kidney beans
1 c. chopped onions
1 c. chopped green bell pepper
3/4 c. chopped celery
1 tsp. dried thyme
1 tsp. paprika
3/4 tsp. ground red pepper
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/2 (14 oz.) package turkey, pork, and beef smoked sausage, thinly sliced (such as Healthy Choice)
1 bay leaf
 1/2 tsp. salt (I will omit)
3 c. hot cooked long-grain rice
1/4 c. chopped green onions

Combine 1st 12 ingredients in an electric slow cooker. Cover with lid; cook on high heat for 5 hours. Discard bay leaf; stir in salt. Serve over rice, sprinkle servings evenly with green onions.
