Today’s low-effort, high-reward dinner is the 10th recipe of Done in 30, the recipe series I’ve been sharing over the last 10 days to get you excited and equipped to make quick, delish, healthy dinners. Inspired by my Done in 30 chapter in Don’t Think About Dinner! I personally love a fast, flexible skillet meal, so that’s what we’re ending the series with: sun-dried tomato, sausage, and butter bean skillet.
It’s rich and creamy, packed with protein and plants, and perfect for prepping or even freezing. The ingredients and recipe steps are incredibly simple, with everything happening in one pan over the course of just 15 minutes—but the final product tastes as if it took much longer. A weeknight dinner win!!!
The skillet uses one of my best tricks for building a more satisfying meal: doubling up on protein with both meat and a plant-based option. Ground sausage and butter beans team up to make the dish extra hearty while also sneaking in more fiber and plants. It’s a simple addition that makes you feel full and satisfied after dinner.
And since it’s day ten…
