28 minBBQ beans and sausage is a Southern staple, and this version cranks up the nutrition without sacrificing an ounce of flavor.
Chicken sausage and chopped collard greens cook down with onion until wilted and browned, then canned navy beans join a smoky sauce built from barbecue sauce, tomato paste, and a spoonful of dark molasses.
The whole thing comes together in a single pot in under 30 minutes.
You get all that deep, sweet, smoky barbecue flavor with a serious helping of fiber and greens worked right in.
Pro Tips
- Any pre-cooked chicken sausage works well here; apple, smoked, or spicy varieties all bring something different
- Collard greens wilt down considerably, so don’t be alarmed by the volume when you add them to the pan
- For a smokier, richer flavor, use a chipotle or hickory-based barbecue sauce
- This reheats and freezes beautifully, making it a strong meal prep candidate for the week
Ingredients
Directions
Whisk barbecue sauce, water, tomato paste, molasses, salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add onion and collard greens and cook, stirring occasionally, until the collards are wilted, 3 to 5 minutes.
Add sausage and cook, stirring, until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes more.
Reduce heat to medium-low; add beans and the sauce mixture to the pan.
Gently stir to combine, cover and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes.
