Sausage and Bean Casserole is a favorite family meal in my house. I like to make this bean and sausage casserole in advance of family days out and I simply reheat it in the oven when we get back home. It means I don’t have to worry about how to feed the masses when we are all tired after a day out!
To make this easy sausage and bean casserole, start by cooking onion, celery and peppers in a Dutch oven. Add sausages to the onion and celery mixture and fry for a bit. Stir in garlic, paprika, cumin and thyme and continue cooking until fragrant. Add wine, tomatoes and a crumbled chicken stock cube. Cook for 40 minutes before stirring in a can of adzuki beans. Season with black pepper and add some snipped chives before serving.
To make my Sausage & Bean Casserole, you will need the following ingredients:
Place 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pot or Dutch oven and add 1 finely chopped onion. Cook gently for 5 minutes.
Place 2 finely chopped celery sticks to the onions in the pan. Add a chopped yellow and red pepper. Sauté for a further 5 mins.
Add 4 chopped chorizo sausages and 4 pork sausages to the pan and fry for 5 minutes.
Mix in 3 chopped garlic cloves, 1½ teaspoons of sweet smoked paprika, ½ a teaspoon of ground cumin and 1 tablespoon of dried thyme. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes more until fragrant.
Pour white wine into the pan and remove any bits which are stuck to the pan using a wooden spoon. Stir in one can of tomatoes and 2 sprigs of fresh thyme. Bring the sauce to a simmer and crumble in a chicken stock cube. Stir to dissolve the stock cube.
Simmer for 40 more minutes.
Mix in a drained and rinsed two cans of adzuki beans. Simmer for five more minutes.
Before serving, remove the thyme sprigs and season well with black pepper. Stir in some freshly snipped chives.
