Total Time: 20 Minutes | Prep Time: 10 Minutes | Cook Time: 10 Minutes | Servings: 5

Ingredients
3 cloves of garlic
2 shallots
2 green bell peppers
31 oz of canned kidney beans
3 cups of diced tomatoes
1 tsp of onion powder
1 tsp of garlic powder
1 tsp of paprika
1/2 tsp of cayenne
1/4 tsp of black pepper
4 vegan sausage*
Parsley for garnish

Directions
1. Mince garlic and slice shallots and bell peppers.

2. Heat a large frying pan to medium high heat and add in a small amount of oil.  Add in garlic, and bell peppers.  Saute for 5 minutes.  Note: If using store bought sausages, slice sauces and add them to frying pan after sauteing veggies.  Saute until browned and fully cooked through.

3. Add in kidney beans, diced tomatoes, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne, black pepper and cooked vegan sausages.  Mix well and set aside to cool.

4. Garnish with parsley and serve with rice, corn bread or enjoy as is!

*Note: For this recipe, I'm using precooked homemade vegan sausages.  If you're using store bought, slice and cook your sausage before moving to step 3.  If you're using precooked vegan sausages, add on step 3.
