How to Make Budget Italian Sausage & Bean Casserole
- Preheat oven to 375°F while you gather and prep all ingredients.
- Brown sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking into crumbles until golden-brown, about 5–7 minutes.
- Sauté onion & garlic in the same skillet for 3 minutes, stirring until onions turn translucent and garlic releases its aroma.
- Add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, mixing well to coat the sausage and aromatics before adding remaining ingredients.
- Pour in white beans, diced tomatoes, and chicken broth, stirring to combine and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Transfer mixture to a greased 9×13-inch casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
- Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes, then sprinkle fresh parsley and grated Parmesan on top before serving.

Notes
Drizzle with a bit of extra virgin olive oil for added richness. Brown sausage thoroughly for best flavor.
