Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon canola oil or vegetable oil
- 2 pounds kielbasa sausage , cut into 1-inch slices
- 1 cup onion chopped
- 1 cup green bell pepper chopped
- 1 cup carrot chopped
- 2 cloves garlic , pressed or minced
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups milk
- 6 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon sage ground
- 1 ounce can great northern beans or cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 ounce can Kidney Beans rinsed and drained, dark
- parsley chopped
Instructions
- In a large dutch oven or stock pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Add the onion, green bell pepper, carrot, and garlic. Season with the kosher salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion and pepper soften, about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and veggie mixture and stir to coat, stirring and cooking for 1-2 minutes or until it loses its raw floury taste and begins to smell toasty. Slowly add the milk and stir until smooth. Cook until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble, stirring often, then add Worcestershire sauce, sage, and beans. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook for 15-20 minutes or until the flavors come together, stirring occasionally. Add more salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot with a few sprinkles of fresh parsley and french bread for dipping or crackers on the side.
