LIMA BEANS AND SAUSAGE
My husbands favorite dish, I make this often for Sunday dinner and we serve it often as a side dish with roast and gravy. We eat it over white steamed rice. My mother in law made this often so it is a cajun comfort food to us. Low in calories but high in protien and good for you. I also cook dry navy beans this same way. ...

BARBECUED BEANS WITH SMOKED SAUSAGE
A Southwestern take on one of my hubby's favorite dishes. Usually I make baked beans with miniature smoked sausages, but this time I cut up large smoked sausages and used barbecue sauce and chile peppers. I also used Queso Casero (homemade Mexican cheese), but Queso Fresco can be substituted. From my food blog at: http://www.comfortcookadventures.com/2013/05/not-your-average-franks-and-beans.html
