Notes
- To soak the beans: The night before you want to make this meal, cover the beans with double the amount of water and a generous pinch of salt in a container or bowl and soak overnight. Then, when you are ready to cook, drain and rinse the beans. This will break down some of the fibers in the beans that can cause indigestion.
- To control the salt: Creole seasoning and sausage both have high sodium contents. To control the sodium to be a little lower, I recommend making your own creole seasoning so you can limit the amount of salt you add.
- For a vegetarian/vegan version, use vegetable broth or water in place of chicken broth and omit the sausage. Add a bit of smoked paprika to add a smoky taste, and you may need a bit more salt as well.
- The provided nutrition information does not include any added sodium from seasoning to taste, any optional ingredients, and it does not take brands into account. Feel free to calculate it yourself using this calculator or by adding the recipe to Yummly.
