Once my husband's favorite New Orleans takeout closed, I challenged myself to develop a tasty red beans and rice recipe that I could make at home. This pressure-cooker version is hearty and satisfies his Cajun cravings. —Jennifer Schwarzkopf, Oregon, Wisconsin

  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 celery rib, sliced
  • 1/2 medium sweet red pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 medium green pepper, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons Louisiana-style hot sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 pound fully cooked andouille sausage links, sliced
  • Hot cooked rice
  • Thinly sliced green onions, optional

Test Kitchen tips
  • Serve with a sweet cornbread (and honey butter, if you have a few extra minutes to whip some up!
  • This recipe tastes even better on days two and three. If you can make it a day in advance, go for it—the sauce just gets thicker and tastier the longer it coagulates.
