Slice and sauté:  1 lb. Kielbasa.  Slices will be black but won’t taste burned.  Set aside.

Sauté until almost tender:
1 lg. green pepper diced
1 c. celery diced
1 lg. onion diced

Add:
1 lg. can diced tomatoes
1 lg. can red beans, drained (kidney beans, pinto etc)
salt and pepper to taste
generous shake of chili powder

Cook until all ingredients are hot.  Stir in two or three cups of cooked rice and heat through.
To serve, you may toss the sausage in or serve it separately over the top.
