We had one of those odd cool days the other day. Not too cool, but enough to put me in nesting mode. And that means stick-to-your-ribs food for dinner. So I threw together something super simple – easy baked beans and smoked sausage with a little corn bread on the side. I wasn’t going for fru-fru fancy stuff. I just wanted something to fill me up and warm me to the bone. This was it.
The Perfect Cold Weather Dish
I’ll be making this again this fall. As much as I hate to kiss summer goodbye, I sure love those fall meals. Easy baked beans and smoked sausage not only fills you up, it’ll keep you warm on those cool fall days for sure.
