Hearty Bean Stew with “Mettwurst” Sausages

A few weeks ago I showed you a quick & delicious recipe for a bean pot with minced meat. This stew was a winner in my family that I would like to share another recipe with beans & meat with you today, but this time there is a bean pot with canned white beans & canned kidney beans instead of fresh green beans.

In addition to the beans, paprika & “Mettwurst” sausages go into the pot & are processed together with spices (here savory, oregano & thyme) into a delicious stew, which is super quick and ideal for the current cold season. Have fun cooking at home!
