Sausage and Bean Casserole
Randy Mayor; Katie Stoddard
Simple and satisfying, this hearty sausage and bean casserole is fast enough to prepare on a busy evening.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°.
Step 2
Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add onion and turkey sausage to pan; sauté for 5 minutes or until browned. Add garlic, and sauté for 2 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Stir in 2 tablespoons brown sugar, tomato paste, dried thyme, freshly ground black pepper, cannellini beans, and bay leaf. Add ground red pepper, if desired. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 3
Place bread in a food processor, and pulse 10 times or until coarse crumbs measure 1 1/2 cups.
Step 4
Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over bean mixture, and lightly coat with cooking spray. Bake at 375° for 15 minutes or until browned. Discard bay leaf. Sprinkle with parsley.

this was easy peasy. I used spicy Italian turkey sausage. about a tsp of brown sugar, added some zucchini, and skipped the bread crumb step. Was nice and tasty and filling. Will definitely make this again and again.

The boyfriend and I really enjoyed this meal! Like others, I changed a few things, though: 2 cans cannelini & 1 can black beans, sage for thyme, 15 minute simmer instead of 5, and added a can of low-sodium corn. I also nixed the red pepper flakes and added them to my serving but next time I won't skip them; it was a great addition! I really like the potential for versatility - different flavored sausage, peppers, spices, etc. Only thing that would have made this better was if I'd made cornbread for the side! It's an easy, inexpensive, and quick meal that I recommend.

I made one-half of this recipe using regular Italian sausage and a few more beans than called for and was very disappointed with the tasteless results. May have been better if I had added some Italian spices but I did not try that. Would not make again.

My family loved it. Great flavors! I added a can of red beans (and also used the 3 cans of white beans). I put cheese on top of the bread crumbs. Totally delicious.
