Categories     Food & Cooking     Main Dish Recipes     Casserole Recipes

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 slices white sandwich bread
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 packages (1 pound each) smoked Polish sausage, halved lengthwise, cut into 2 1/2-inch pieces
2 large onions, chopped
8 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 cup tomato paste
1 can (14.5 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 cup dry red wine
1 teaspoon dried thyme
4 cans (14.5 ounces each) Great Northern or cannellini beans, rinsed and drained

Steps:

  • Stir in 2 cups of the breadcrumbs. Divide sausage mixture between two 3-quart shallow baking dishes or eight 10-ounce ramekins. Top with remaining breadcrumbs.
  • Bake, on a baking sheet, until topping is golden, 30 minutes.
