Ingredients

• 6 pieces hot sausage links
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 can (15 ounces) canned pinto beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can (15 ounces) canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can (15 ounces) canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can (15 ounces) crushed tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage links and sear them on all sides until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausages and set aside; they will finish cooking in the oven.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Mix well to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

Add the drained pinto beans, kidney beans, and black beans to the skillet. Stir in paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

Transfer the bean mixture to a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Nestle the browned sausage links into the mixture, ensuring they are partially submerged.

Step 7

Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the casserole to thicken and the sausages to fully cook through.

Step 9

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your hearty Hot Sausage Links and Beans Casserole!
