Cajun Green Beans Recipe

We love fiber-filled green beans, but let’s face it, sometimes they can be a bit boring! Not these yummy Cajun Green Beans that take only about 10 minutes to prepare, yet will be gobble up in seconds at the dinner table.

We love the McCormick brand of Cajun seasoning that is not too spicy .. almost perfect. Cajun seasoning is a great spice to have on hand and can spice up chicken or pork for dinner.

Frozen green beans are always a healthy option for a dinner side-dish. Frozen vegetables are almost as healthy as fresh, because they are picked at peak season and then quickly frozen so they don’t lose much of their nutritional values.

We love cooking with small amounts of chicken sweet Italian sausage to add flavor without a lot of fat. If you love chicken sweet Italian sausage as much as we do – you will love our sausage, rice and beans dinner.

Keep an eye on the green beans as they are cooking. This is similar to making a stir fry, you want to keep stirring the beans often and not use a lot of liquid.

Add additional Cajun seasoning or salt if desired. You can also cook some baby red potatoes until tender and add those to the pan as well. Just add some additional oil and butter.

You will also love our canned green bean recipe and our garlic and ginger green bean recipe for a great side dish for family meal.

For a great family meal – try our Cajun Pasta with Sausage!
