How to Make Spicy Stick To The Ribs Bean Sausage Casserole

  1. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb. of your favorite sausage (Italian sausage recommended) over medium-high heat until cooked through. Break it up with a spoon as it cooks.
  2. Drain off any excess grease and set the sausage aside.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the same skillet. Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, and 1 green bell pepper, chopped, until softened (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet.
  5. Pour in 2 (15-ounce) cans of your favorite beans (kidney, pinto, or a mix!), undrained.
  6. Add 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste!), 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and salt to taste.
  7. Stir to combine and heat through on medium heat for about 5-10 minutes, allowing flavors to meld. For a richer flavor, simmer longer.
  8. **Oven Method:** Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  9. **Stovetop Method:** Continue heating on medium-low until heated through and your desired level of thickness is reached, stirring occasionally.
