1 baked beans recipe, uncooked
1 (15 ounce) can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 (14 ounce) package Butterball turkey Polska kielbasa,
    cut into 1/4 inch rounds

Mix kidney beans and sausage into baked beans. Place in a 2 1/2-quart casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees F for 60 minutes or until bubbly and heated through. Serve as is or on top of hot cooked rice.

Variations: Use your family's favorite bean in place of the kidney beans. Add bacon or chunks of smoked ham or turkey instead of the sausage. Or place in a shallow baking dish with pork chops or boneless skinless chicken breasts and pour bean mixture on top. To serve pull out the pork chops/chicken and plate. Place the bean mixture on a bed of rice or just plain on the side or you can top the pork/chicken with the beans. Add some green beans (or favorite vegetable) as a side dish, salad and some rolls and you have one big hearty meal.
