Vegetarian Sausage and Beans

Wow this is really filling! Meat lovers can probably be fooled with this one. The recipe goes as follows from Vegweb.com

  1 15 oz can black beans, drained
    1 15 oz can diced tomatoes
    1 small onion chopped
    1 14 oz tube Lightlife Gimme Lean sausage flavored
    Any spices you wish to add

Directions:

Saute onions in oil until transparent in large frying pan.  Crumble sausage and combine with onion.  Continue to saute until sausage is browned.  Add black beans, tomatoes, and spices and mix well until warm all the way through.

Serve over rice, couscous, or pasta.

I used organic Italian flavored diced tomatoes and scooped the sausage mixture over wheat pasta. This made it really filling. I think next time I will do orzo or a brown rice. This was very tasty, and quick to make. I sprinkled nutritional yeast on top for some added B-12.  This is definitely a keeper, and easy for a workday evening.
