This French-inspired bean and sausage meal comes together in under 20 minutes so you can satisfy big appetites in a hurry. The beans give the dish ample fiber and the sausage delivers protein—a one-two punch that will keep you feeling full for hours. We suggest you rinse your beans before using them to help cut down on the sodium. This entrée pairs deliciously with a salad of mixed greens and a light and simple vinaigrette. If you're feeling particularly hungry, feel free to add a slice or two of a fresh French baguette. Be sure to save any leftovers as the flavors in this dish will deepen with time.
