BEAN, SAUSAGE, AND SPINACH CASSEROLE



Bean, Sausage, and Spinach Casserole image

A bunch of Swiss Chard, 3 to 5 cups, stems removed, chopped, can be used instead of spinach. Swiss Chard is hard to find where I live, and the difference in taste is minimal. Red Swiss Chard can be used to give the dish a different visual appeal.
