Pinto Beans & Kielbasa

One of the easiest foods to cook in a solar oven is beans. Growing up in Texas, we ate a lot of beans and our favorite was pinto beans. Adding a great kielbasa turns ordinary pinto beans into a hearty stew. Served with a side of cornbread, it makes a great one dish meal.

Pinto Beans & Kielbasa

• 2 – 3 cups pinto beans, cooked and drained* (NOTE: To start with dried beans, see Pinto Beans.)
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
• 1 (14.5 oz) can stewed tomatoes
• 1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes & green chilies
• 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ tsp pepper
• Salt to taste
• 1 – 1 ½ pounds kielbasa, cut into 1” rounds

Pre-heat the solar oven. Place the cooked pinto beans into a solar safe pot. Add all of the other ingredients and stir well. Simmer in the solar oven for 1 ½ – 2 hours to let the flavors blend.
