Creamy Bean and Sausage Skillet

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Cut the 12 oz package of beef smoked sausage into thin slices.

Heat about 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat.

Add the sliced sausage to the skillet and cook for a couple of minutes on each side until golden brown.

Add 1 diced onion, 1 diced carrot, and 1/2 diced yellow bell pepper to the skillet.

Cook the vegetables until the onions are translucent.

Drain and rinse 2 cans of Great Northern beans before adding them to the skillet.

Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of flour and mix well.

Pour in 3 cups of chicken broth and stir to combine.

Add 1/2 teaspoon each of garlic powder, minced onion, and dried thyme, along with a couple pinches of salt and black pepper.

Add the rinsed and drained beans to the mixture.

Let the mixture cook for about 15 to 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the sauce thickens slightly.

Stir in 1/4 cup of half and half to make the dish creamy.
