smokey red beans with 'taters & corn

This makes 6 servings @ approximately 4 WeightWatchers POINTS® each.

Spuds and corn are a new twist in this recipe reminiscent of the classic red beans & rice. I always think something sweet rounds out smokey flavors nicely, so a side of fruit such as applesauce or perhaps grilled summer peaches would be a fitting addition. And of course what are red beans without serving up a mess 'a greens? Saute up a batch of your fave ones to go along with this dinner inspired by southern hospitality :)

Ingredients

3 cups yellow corn
3 cups baby potatoes, quartered
3 cups cooked small red beans
2 onions, diced
2 bell peppers, diced
2-3 cloves garlic, smashed & diced
1/2 - 1 tsp liquid smoke

Instructions

Steam, boil or nuke the potatoes till cooked. Set aside.

In a skillet brushed lightly w/grapeseed oil, saute onions & peppers over medium heat till veggies are softened. Add the corn along with a couple cloves garlic. Saute till corn gets some color. Next add the potatoes & red beans plus liquid smoke to taste. Season well w/salt.
