Sausage and Beans is one of those comfort food dishes that can be made lighter without affecting the flavor and texture of the dish to any significant degree. I used Isernio's Mild Italian Chicken Sausages for this sausage and beans recipe. Enjoy with a side of skinny mashed potatoes, using low-fat milk instead of butter and cream.
Cook Time: 16 minutes
