Stovetop Smoked Sausage and Beans
This Stovetop Smoked Sausage and Beans are a hearty and flavorful dish that warms the tummy and the soul. I used canned beans to cut the cooking time down to 30 minutes without losing any flavor. It's a comforting, satisfying dish that combines smoky, savory, and slightly spicy elements.
