Sun-dried tomatoes are the special ingredient that gives this three-bean stew with sausage a sunny Mediterranean flavor.
Ingredients:
3/4 pound sweet italian pork sausage, casing removed
10 cups swanson® chicken broth (regular, natural goodness™ or certified organic)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 medium carrots, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
4 ounces dried pinto beans
4 ounces dried navy beans
4 ounces dry kidney bean
6 sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and thinly sliced
grated parmesan cheese
Directions:
1. Cook the sausage in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until it's well browned, stirring frequently to separate meat. Pour off fat.
2. Stir the sausage, broth, black pepper, carrots, celery and beans in a 5-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 7 to 8 hours.* Stir in the tomatoes. Cover and cook for 1 hour or until the beans are tender. Sprinkle with the cheese.
