To buy
- 6 ounces smoked sausage
From your shelf
- one 15-ounce can Bush's baked beans
- 1 small onion
Staples
- 2 tablespoons oil
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- 1 clove, minced garlic
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a ten-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Slice 6 ounces of smoked sausage into half-moons and cook them until the edges brown, about four minutes, stirring once. While the sausage cooks, dice 1 small onion.
- Add the onion and 1 minced garlic clove to the pan and cook until the onion softens, about three minutes, stirring often.

Note Swap the smoked sausage for kielbasa or sliced ham. Leftovers keep for three days and reheat well on the stove or in the microwave. Serve with cornbread, pickled vegetables, or a side salad to round the meal out.
