Beans have always been a favorite of mine, whether, in soups, salads, or a dip, I never get tired of a recipe that features beans. The recipe I’m sharing with you today is one of my go-to favorites. It is a White Bean & Sausage bake that I have prepared for many brunch get-togethers.
When I feel like changing it up I swap out the sausage for chopped ham. It’s another favorite!
