Feel up to sharing????
One thing I have been cooking once a week lately has been, Jalapeno White Beans w/ Jalapeno Deer/chicken Sausage (out of the casing). For a half of cup the beans give you 15 grams of protein & the meat gives you 7 grams of protein =22 grams not bad for a 1/2 cup of food!!!!!!
Directions:
* take a pound of your favorite sausage out of it's casing ( you could also use ground turkey )
brown in a cast iron pot ( or what ever you have )
* add a whole chopped up onion, a whole chopped up bell pepper, a spoon full of minced garlic,
& about 20 jalapeno slices ( also pore 1/4 cup of jalapeno juice from the jar ), cook down w/ ground meat until all veggies are soft (20Min's)
* then add 5-6 can of Trappey's Jalapeno White Beans w/ the juice
* Season to taste & cook down for about 3 hours
*** We love spice down here, so if you don't skip the jalapenos****
Enjoy,
Katherine

Sorry it has taken me soooooo long to get back to you!!!! I think cooking the beans from scratch would be just as yummy, I just take the easy way out...lol...I bought some more beans today to make this tonight, so now I can tell you what is in them, basically they are cooked down w/ bacon & jalapenos then seasoned w/ salt & onion powder. They are just as yummy as if I had cooked them myself, just w/ out the day in a half of getting ready to eat :)
This is how I cook them from scratch, everyone is different but this is my two cents. I get a pound of dried beans & soak them over night in a bowl of ice water. Then the next day I boil them for 15 minutes w/ jalapeno juice in my water, then it's back into ice water 15 more minutes, & IF they are still a little to hard I will boil them one more time, but usually I don't have to.......................Then I start my recipe w/ the meat. Hope this has helped you!
Take Care,
Katherine
