Franks and Beans
Everybody remembers franks and beans. It's a signature dish of childhood. But outside the
ballpark, hot dogs aren't always the first choice for the over-12 crowd. And baked beans
aren't the only beans in town. Nowadays, the sausage is the new frank! And everyone knows that the versatile bean
is a great source of protein. Check out our updated franks and beans menu for fun and healthy summer fare.
Dog Days
If you're hankering for spicy, try a chicken sausage with Southwest flavors, such as a blend of ancho, chipotle and jalapeno peppers.
Rainbow Black Bean Salad with corn and red and
green peppers for crunch is the perfect accompaniment.
The sunny flavors of Southern France — olives, oregano, lemon and sun-dried tomatoes — are blended into other chicken sausages, often called Mediterranean sausages. Pair them with Great Northern Bean Salad, which is plenty lemony and garlicky in its own right.
Bean Different
Gingered Adzuki Beans garnished with avocado are a tasty way to get fiber, folate and
iron into your diet. Check out the Bean Guide
for more information on these sweet, delicate, deep red beans. They go great with
smoked chicken apple sausages.
Thrill at the Grill
Chicken sausages with truffles are studded with aromatic morsels of black truffle, those exotic mushrooms that the Europeans hold dear. Serve them (cooked of course) on a bed of White Beans with Garlic and Arugula  for the perfect summer meal.
Wild mushrooms, garlic and herbs are the stars in wild mushroom chicken sausages. These "dogs" find a foil in creamy Fava Bean Puree.
On a Bean Note
Black Bean Cakes with Red Pepper Vinaigrette can be a meal in themselves or taste great with the pepper-full Southwestern chicken sausages.
Or try Red Beans and Walnuts. Scallions, garlic and herbs meet red beans in this salad and they're all coated in a thick, walnut dressing.
