Tomato Based Tricolor Beans with Hot Italian Sausage
6-7 Hot Italian Sausages, baked, cooled and sliced.
3 cans Vegetarian beans, (nasty sauce rinsed off).
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed.
1 can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed.
5-6 stalks of celery, sliced.
4 cloves garlic, sliced.
2 very large onions, cut in half, and the halves cut into sixths.
1/2 cup Olive oil.
2 cans diced tomatoes, undrained.
2 cans tomato sauce, unseasoned.
Cook the Hot Italian Sausage (6 to 7 links), the night before, or at least an hour in advance. Bake at 350F for 30 minutes, turn, and bake on the second side for 30 minutes. Allow the sausages to cool in the fridge, and then slice about 1/8" thick.
In the largest frying pan you own, with deep sides and a lid, add the olive oil, celery, and onions and sauté on low heat until just barely softened, and then add the garlic. Sauté an additional 5 to 8 minutes. Stir well.
To the veggies, add all of the other ingredients, stir well, cover, and cook for 35 to 40 minutes on low heat. Check and stir fairly frequently, as beans will stick to the bottom of the pan.
