Pulling one out from the vault!  This time I have daylight pics and some tasty additions.

Last night called for something hearty, warm and comforting…..

I made Chicken Sausage & Bean Casserole with Sage!!

This time around, I let the beans get creamier before I transferred the mixture to the casserole dish.

I also did a better job at frying the sage & added some parmesan to the breadcrumb topping!

It’s a recipe that gets even better on the second day.

It reminded me a bit of the Tuscan Ribollita I recently made, but not as soupy (obviously) and no tomatoes or chard.

I have to say that it’s absolutely perfect for a fall/winter lunch.
