WHITE BEANS WITH SAUSAGE

Ingredients

• 1lb White Beans (northern or navy)
• 1lb Richard's Premium Smoked Pork Sausage
• 4 pieces salt meat (optional)
• 1 tsp ground thyme
• 1/2 Tbsp Cajun seasoning of your choice
• 2.5 tsp chopped rosemary
• 48 oz chicken broth
• cooked white rice - for serving

Directions

1. soak beans in water overnight
2. slice sausage into thin rounds
3. heat pan to medium and sear salt pork (if using)
4. add sausage and cook until a little brown on each side
5. drain beans and add to sausage with all seasonings
6. add enough chicken broth until beans are covered by about 2 inches
7. bring to a boil, then knock heat down and continue to simmer
8. keep an eye on the liquid level - always keep it above the beans and stir so it doesn't stick to the bottom
9. we recommend cooking for about 3-4 hours so beans are nice and soft and the liquid is creamy
10. when to your liking, scoop up a bowl and put some cooked rice on top - ENJOY!
