Recipe #32: Michael Symon’s Kielbasa Beans

Michael Symon’s Kielbasa and Beans

This is more of a review…

This is a bit of a more upscale version of franks and beans. Upscale isn’t the right term though because it still very basic. Using canned beans makes this a fairly quick and easy dish too. The recipe says over 120 minutes to prepare, but mine took less than an hour so I’m not sure where the discrepancy is.

This is one of the BEST recipes I have made in a while. Filling, sweet and spicy (a favorite combination in this house), great mixture of textures from the beans, kielbasa, and the panko topping. Matt couldn’t stop telling me how delicious it was and we both couldn’t wait for leftovers the next night. Also, since we still don’t know what Matt’s food allergy is yet, I made sure to note that this recipe is dairy-free. It was a little surprising to realize as it was so good. I think that goes to show that Matt and I really could stand to cut a little dairy out of our diets.
