Ingredients
🍗 Meat or Vegetable 🥕 (Broth And Oil)
🥣 2 Tablespoons oil
🥣 12 ounces andouille sausage (or smoked sausage)
🥣 4 cups chicken or vegetable 🥕 broth (recommend low sodium broth)
Vegetables
🥣 1 onion, chopped
🥣 1 green bell pepper, chopped
🥣 2 stalks celery, chopped
🥣 1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
🥣 16 ounces red kidney beans
Seasonings
🥣 2 bay leaves
🥣 1 Tablespoon Cajun seasoning (my favs are Old bay, Tony’s Creole, and Slap yo Mama
🥣 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper
🥣 1 teaspoon thyme or Italian seasoning
🥣 1/4 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
🥣 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
🥣 3-4 dashes your favorite hot sauce
Instructions
1. Brown Sausage. Press the Saute button on the Instant Pot. Wait until the front display of the Instant Pot says "Hot," then add oil to the inner liner pot inside the Instant Pot. When the oil is hot, add the sliced andouille sausage and brown for about 3 minutes on each side, stirring occasionally. Remove the sausage from the Instant Pot and place it on a plate and cover it with foil. Set aside temporarily.
2. Saute Vegetables. Add the chopped onions, chopped bell peppers, and chopped celery and saute for about 3 minutes until they are softened and onions are translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, stirring frequently.
3. Deglaze The Pot. Add 1/2 cup chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the Inner Liner Pot to prevent ingredients from sticking to the bottom of the pot. This will help prevent receiving a Burn Message from the Instant Pot.
4. Add The Rest of Ingredients. Return the sausage to the Instant Pot and pour in the remainder of the chicken broth (3-1/2 cups). Add the red beans, bay leaves, Cajun Seasoning, salt and pepper, thyme, cayenne, Worcestershire, and hot sauce.
5. Pressure Cook. Press CANCEL to stop the Saute function, and place the lid on top and turn to lock. Then press PRESSURE COOK or MANUAL (depending on Instant Pot model) and press the + or – sign to adjust the time to 20 minutes for SOAKED beans or 40 minutes for UNSOAKED beans.
