Hot Sausage Smothered White Beans
For you "Dawns" of the world, you can always use Chicken Sausage... or I guess, even Soy Sausage to lower the fat… but don't blame me for the crappy taste.
Ingredients
½ pound white navy beans, soaked, drained and rinsed according to package
16 ounces hot/jalapeno polish sausage, chopped
3 tablespoon minced garlic
2 cups chopped white onion
1 cup chopped celery
2 bay leaves
4 cups water
parmesan cheese
olive oil
To Make...
1. In a large saucepan heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium high heat and sauté the sausage for one minute.
2. Add the ½ the onion and ½ the celery and cook stirring for about 1 minute. Add salt to taste.
3. Add the garlic, beans, bay leaves and water.
4. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low and simmer uncovered, for 2 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
5. Add the remaining onion and celery and stir until well mixed and heated through, about 10 minutes. You want this batch of onion and celery to remain crunchy.
6. remove Bay leaves.
7. Serve, topping with parmesan cheese
