Not a bad day out, considering the weather we've been having. Partly sunny and it got up to around 28 degrees. Had a little skiff of snow this morning so I cleared that off around the door walk and ramp and my neighbor blew the rest off with a snow blower. Spent the day cleaning the computer and the disaster around it! Scanned and uninstalled some old programs and then cleaned the computer desk and around that. Amazing how much junk one person can accumulate! Wanted something different for dinner so tonight I prepared Beans and Smoked Turkey Sausage with a slice of French Bread.
Growing up who didn't like the old-fashioned Campbell's Beans and Weenies, that and Spaghetti-O's! Well I wanted some Beans and Weenies but I jazzed it up a bit. I used 1 Butterball Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausage (sliced into bite size pieces), 1 can of Joan of Arc Spicy Chili Beans, 1 can of Bush's Reduced Sodium Black Beans (drained and rinsed), 1/4 of a medium sized White Onion (Chopped), 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon, 1 tablespoon Splenda Brown Sugar, a couple of shakes (or more) of Frank's Red Hot Sauce, and a 1/3 cup of Jack Daniel's Honey Smokehouse BBQ Sauce (or to taste).
To prepare everything, it can't be much easier. I used a small size Dutch Oven that I had sprayed with Pam Cooking Spray. Added all the ingredients except for the Turkey Smoked Sausage to the Dutch Oven, and stirred until well mixed. I turned the stove on medium low, covered the pot and just let simmer. Another set it and forget recipe! I started simmering everything around 1 pm this afternoon. You could make this in a crock pot on low and let it go all day or by using a medium size sauce pan and get done even quicker. I like dishes that you can set low and let them simmer. After a couple of hours I sliced up one of the Butterball Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausage and added it to the Beans. I then increased the heat to medium for about another hour and then reduced it back down to medium low until it was time for dinner.
I had leftover Pillsbury Rustic French Bread from last night's dinner that I warmed up to serve with the Beans and Sausage. The Beans/Sausage came out delicious! It had a good Smokey Flavor to it and the Jack Daniel's BBQ Sauce is perfect for Beans and the Turkey Sausage. Then I had a slice of the French Bread to mop up all the Sauce. A good Hearty Meal tonight. For dessert later a Del Monte No Sugar Added Peach Chunk Cup.
