Directions

1. In a large pan over medium heat, brown sausage. If the sausage is very lean you may need to add a bit of vegetable oil. After sausage is browned, remove from pan and set aside, reserving about 2 tablespoons of hot oil.
2. Add chopped onion and diced green or red pepper to the hot oil in pan. Sauté until onion is translucent and pepper is softened, about 5 minutes. Then add minced garlic. Sauté for about a minute or so.
3. Add tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, chipotle, and hot sauce and mix well. Then add browned kielbasa and red beans. Mix well and simmer until bubbly. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
4. Serve over cooked rice and garnish with chopped parsley
