Five Minute Meal - Sausage and Black Beans

The other night it was 7:15PM after a long day and I did not have dinner planned.  I was hungry so I took a quick trip through my cupboards and refrigerator and came up with this 3 ingredient 5 minute dinner that both my husband and I loved.  It made 3 band size servings, so he had 2 and I had my single serving and we were both happy and satisfied.
