Smoked Sausage and Green Beans with Corn

This delicious recipe is chock full of sausage – a full two pounds of it, in fact. To that, I add diced onions, garlic, whole kernel corn, and green beans. Then I season it with a zesty Cajun blend, add butter for richness, and cook it all until the veggies are tender, and the entire house smells like a smoky sausage wonderland of flavor. The entire thing takes about 30 minutes from start to finish, and it’s so hearty, you can make a couple of meals out of it!
