We regret that 6 cans of butter beans were omitted from this recipe when entered on this site. They would be the third kind of bean mentioned in the recipe introduction. The smoked sausage should also be miniature links instead of full size.

These errors will be corrected soon. We apologize for the oversight.

My mom made this dish for my wedding reception and there wasn't any left when my new husband and I finally got a chance to eat. Since then I have made it for my family and my sister's wedding reception to rave reviews. It is easy to cut in 1/2 or even 1/3 as needed.
