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.
