Sausage with Red Beans and Rice

1 pound mild or spicy smoked sausage, cut up
1 can light red kidney beans, drained
1 can red beans, drained
1 can tomato sauce
1 small onion, diced
1 small bell pepper (optional)
1 heaping tablespoon minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
Frank's Red Hot Sauce
Tony Chachere's Cajun Seasoning

Saute onion and bell pepper in a little vegetable oil until almost tender; add garlic.  Add sausage, cook for 5-10 minutes until it lets some of its juicy goodness out.  Then add both beans.  Add up to 1 can of tomato sauce, depending on how much liquid you prefer.  Season with Frank's Red Hot and Tony Chachere's.  Serve over cooked rice with some nice crusty french bread.
