Sausage Beer Bake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup beer
15 ounces cannellini beans
14 ounces Italian-style stewed tomatoes
6 ounces turkey sausage
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 cups French bread, cubed
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Cook the sausage over medium heat. Remove to a plate.
Add the celery, carrot, and onion to the pan. \"Sweat\" for ten minutes.
Combine all ingredients except bread and butter in a casserole pan, crumbling the sausage.
Top with bread and cover with foil.
Bake for twenty minutes, then remove foil, drizzling butter over the bread.
Bake uncovered for and additional 8-10 minutes, or until bread is golden brown.
HINT: We have also substituted pre-buttered garlic bread from the store, placing it butter side up, for the same effect with even more flavor.
