Cajun Style navy beans with sausage

The recipe for this was on the back of the cajun style navy beans package I got from Aldi. It said to use 2 cans, but I only used 1 and cooked it with 7-8 oz of sliced polish sausage. There was none leftover, so 2 cans and a whole package of sausage would be better.

This was a nice alternative to beanie weenie, as the seasonings were different and was less sugary. Cajun style beans are only an occasional thing at aldi though, so you could use regular canned navy beans (if they exist?) and just add paprika plus the spices in the recipe.

2 cans Cajun Style Navy beans
1 tsp olive oil
1 onion
2 celery stalks
1 green bell pepper
2 garlic cloves
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (i used a pinch)
1 tsp thyme
[paprika]
[pound of polish sausage or andouille sausage]

Chop the veggies (except garlic) and saute in oil for 5-7 minutes. Then add chopped garlic and saute for 2 more minutes,. Then add beans, sausage, and seasonings.
