    Recipe Introduction


    Here we turn baked beans into an easy main dish by adding chicken sausage and collard greens. Serve with coleslaw and cornbread.’'

    List of Ingredients




    BBQ Baked Beans & Sausage




    * 1/2 cup prepared barbecue sauce, (see Shopping Tip)
    * 1/2 cup water
    * 2 tablespoons tomato paste
    * 1 tablespoon molasses
    * 1/8 teaspoon salt
    * Freshly ground pepper, to taste
    * 1 tablespoon canola oil
    * 1 medium onion, chopped
    * 4 cups chopped collard greens, (about 10 ounces), tough stems removed
    * 9 ounces cooked chicken sausage links, (about 3 links), halved lengthwise and sliced
    * 2 15-ounce cans great northern or navy beans, rinsed

    Recipe




    Whisk barbecue sauce, water, tomato paste, molasses, salt and pepper in a medium bowl.

    Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and collard greens and cook, stirring occasionally, until the collards are wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Add sausage and cook, stirring, until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes more.

    Reduce heat to medium-low; add beans and the sauce mixture to the pan. Gently stir to combine, cover and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes.


    Shopping tip: Check the sodium of your favorite barbecue sauce—some can be quite high. This recipe was developed with a sauce containing 240 mg sodium per 2-tablespoon serving.

    Note: While we love the convenience of canned beans, they tend to be high in sodium. Give them a good rinse before adding to a recipe to rid them of some of their sodium (up to 35 percent) or opt for low-sodium or no-salt-added varieties. (These recipes are analyzed with rinsed, regular canned beans.) Or, if you have the time, cook your own beans from scratch.
