Sausage and Beans with Rice

2/3 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup chopped green pepper

1 tsp minced garlic

1 tbsp olive oil

1lb. smoked sausage cut into 1/4" slices

16 oz. kidney beans rinsed and drained

15-1/2 oz. great northern beans rinsed and drained

1 cup instant brown rice

1 cup vegetable broth (I use chicken, but whatever)

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup ketchup

3 tbsp corn syrup

1 tbsp dijon mustard (I use honey mustard)

In a large skillet, saute onion, green pepper and garlic in oil until onion is crisp tender. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Pour into a greased 13x9 baking dish.

Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake an additonal 10 - 15 minutes or until rice is tender.

This would also be easy to do in a crockpot.
