Sausage and Beans One Dish Dinner

003

This is a great weeknight one dish dinner.  The recipe is very forgiving.  Don’t have wine?  Double the stock.  Like beans a lot?  Add 2 cans.  I usually make 1/2 chicken sausage and 1/2 pork as Bill hates the chicken sausage.  I like to serve it with a salad and a spoon to make sure to get all the sauce!
