You can cook Easy Sausage & Bean Stew with 19 Ingredients and 6 steps. See the following guide!

1. 1 Tablespoon oil (veg or olive is fine).
2. 1 medium onion, chopped.
3. 1 large carrot, cut into 1/4" cubes.
4. 1 large stem celery, chopped.
5. 4 large cloves garlic, chopped.
6. 1 bay leaf.
7. 1/2 teaspoon cumin.
8. 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
9. 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme.
10. 1 teaspoon paprika.
11. 1/2 Tablespoon dried oregano.
12. 1 Tablespoon ketchup.
13. 1 teaspoon salt to start.
14. 1 Tablespoon vinegar (apple cider preferred, but white or red wine will work in a pinch).
15. 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce.
16. 40 oz. can of beans of choice, well drained (I used pinto.).
17. 1 (14 oz.) sausage link, cut into 1/4" thick coins (I used plain smoked sausage.).
18. 1 cup unsalted chicken, beef, or vegetable stock (water's fine in a pinch).
19. optional: 1 Tablespoon hot sauce of choice.

1. Preheat the oil in a pot to medium and sweat the onion, carrot, celery and garlic until the onions turn translucent..
2. Stir in the bay, cumin, thyme, paprika, oregano, and ketchup..
3. Add the vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, beans, sausage, and stock, (and also your hot sauce if you choose to add it) stir to incorporate, turn the heat down to medium low and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes..
4. Adjust the seasoning if needed (but remember all the flavors - especially the salt - will intensify a bit during the next step where you're cooking partially uncovered and the liquid reduces)..
5. Crush about 1/3 of the beans with a masher, turn the heat to low, and simmer with lid askew for another 15 minutes. Crushing some of the beans releases their starch and thickens the sauce..
6. Enjoy over steamed rice. (Or with crusty bread or mashed potatoes or whatever works for you.).
