Equipment

  • Skillet

  • Container or bowl to temporarily hold ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 can northern, white or navy beans (with juice)
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 small to medium onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 stalk finely chopped celery
  • 1/2 pound smoked sausage or kielbasa
  • 2 tbsp butter (could be salted or not)
