Ingredients
- 1 pound small red dry beans (or red kidney beans) rinsed and sorted
- 1 12 to 16 ounce package andouille or cajun sausage, halved and sliced
- 1 pound leftover ham cubed
- 1 stalks celery sliced
- 1 green bell pepper chopped
- 1 onion diced
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
- 1 28 ounce can diced tomatoes
- 6 cups water
Instructions
- Place all ingredients into the pressure cooker.
- Close the pressure cooker and set the value to sealing. Set the pressure cooker to manual and high pressure cook on high for 30 minutes. When the cycle is complete, allow it to release naturally (natural pressure release is better, but quick release if you are impatient, the beans are cooked)
- Remove bay leaves. Serve over cooked rice. Sprinkle with chopped green onions or sprinkle on a little Cajun seasoning if you like.
