Ingredients

    2 T. olive oil
    1 lb. Italian Sausage (I use mild, but you can choose your spice level)
    3 T. minced garlic
    1 T. oregano
    ½ roasted red pepper (cut into strips)
    28 oz. can crushed tomatoes
    5 oz. fresh baby spinach (chopped)
    2 (15.5 oz.) cans white or northern beans (rinsed)
    4 T butter
    1 loaf French bread
    2 oz. shredded Parmesan cheese
    1 oz. parsley (for garnish)
    Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
    In a high-sided skillet, heat oil on medium-high heat.
    Add sausage and cook on both sides until brown (about 4 minutes per side).
    Remove and cut into bite-size pieces.
    Add it back to the skillet and add all ingredients except for bread and butter and spinach.
    Simmer for 10-15 minutes.
    Add spinach with about 2 minutes left of cooking time.
    While cooking the beans and sausage, French cut (at an angle) your loaf of bread.
    Use the butter-to-butter top of bread slices and bake until toasted light brown.
    Serve sausage and beans over the toast or serve family style (let everyone build their own).

Tips

    If you don't have French bread, you can use any type of bread that you like.
    To make this dish even more flavorful, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sausage.
    If you want to make this dish vegetarian, you can use plant-based sausage and omit the Parmesan cheese.

Enjoy!

This Sausage and Beans on Toast is a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for any occasion. It is also a great way to use up leftover bread.

Here are some additional tips for making this dish:

    To make the beans even creamier, you can mash them slightly with a fork before adding them to the skillet.
    For a spicier dish, you can use a hotter variety of sausage or add some chili powder to the beans.
    This dish is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. You can add any type of chopped vegetables to the skillet, such as carrots, celery, or onions.
    If you want to make this dish ahead of time, you can cook the sausage and beans and reheat them when you are ready to serve.
