Pressure Cooker Red Beans and Sausage

My mom and I love gadgets: Kitchen gadgets of all kinds. She is always buying them from QVC (she is a complete QVC junkie) Her recent purchase was a pressure cooker. But the problem is, she got it and didn’t know what to do with it. She had no idea what to make in it. So she sent it to me, to figure it out, find some recipes and teach her how to use it. I search online for some great recipes and then decided to jump in a give it a try.

I decided to make red beans and sausage. I love spicy sausage and I love red beans. I used a recipe from Allrecipes as a jumping off point. I changed a few things and this is what I came up with. It can easily be changed to a crock pot or stove top recipe by changing the cooking times.

How to Store Pressure Cooker Red Beans and Sausage

Once the food has cooked, you want to remove it from the pressure cooker. You want to store it in an airtight container or a freezer bag. You can keep it in the refrigerator as leftovers for another night or you can store it in the freezer as a freezer meal.

How Long Does Red Beans and Sausage Last

When you keep these beans and sausage in the refrigerator it will last about 4 days. You can store it in the freezer and it will last for about 3 months.

How to Reheat Sausage and beans

You can reheat this sausage and beans by cooking them on the stovetop or in the microwave. If you are using an Instant Pot or another pressure cooker that also works to saute, you can reheat right in there as well. I do not keep mine in the pressure cooker pan after they have cooled, but for those that do, this is an easy way to reheat that doesn’t dirty another pot.
