ITALIAN SAUSAGE & CANNELLINI BEAN DIP



Italian Sausage & Cannellini Bean Dip image

Hubby drives buses for Sarasota County Area Transit, best known as SCAT. Every 4-6 weeks they like to have a potluck lunch for the drivers on duty on Sunday as a treat since a lot of local restaurants the drivers like are closed, and Sundays there aren't as many drivers on duty as the routes are modified to the most used...

Categories     Dips

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lb bulk italian sausage, cooked, drained, and broken into bite size pieces
1 medium onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 6 oz can black olives, drained and sliced
2 15.5 oz cans cannellini beans [white kidney beans] drained
1 7 oz can chopped green chile's
2 10 oz cans rotel diced tomatoes, mexican lime & cilantro flavored, undrained
4 8 oz packages cream cheese, softened
1 16 oz package sour cream
2 tsp minced garlic, or to suit your taste
2 Tbsp fresh ground black peppercorns, or to suite taste

Steps:

  • 1. Brown, and break apart while cooking, the Italian sausage in a heavy skillet on medium heat to prevent burnt meat. If you prefer something spicier, get the Hot Italian bulk sausage. Or, you can use regular bulk sausage. Once the meat is cooked through, drain fat off by letting the meat cool on paper towels.
  • 2. While the sausage is cooking, chop the onion, red pepper, slice the drained black olives into a medium bowl to add later.
  • 3. Put the 2 cans of drained cannellini beans in a large bowl with the can of chopped green chilies. I used my metal potato masher [not a small squared shapes plastic masher] to start mixing the beans and the chilies.
  • 4. Add the two cans of undrained Rotel diced tomatoes, and 1 block of cream cheese at a time, and blend it in with the potato masher until roughly smooth. Blend in the sour cream, garlic, and black pepper with the potato masher until the mixture is fairly smooth.
  • 5. Add the cooled, drained, sausage as you break the meat apart into smaller pieces. Add the bowl of chopped veggies and fold it all into the mixture until well blended. If you have a lid for your large mixing bowl, just snap it on, and chill several hours before serving. I had to divide my batch between two large rectangular containers with tight fitting lids.

Tips:

  • Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight helps to soften them and reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use a variety of beans: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of beans. Cannellini beans are a classic choice, but you could also use black beans, pinto beans, or chickpeas.
  • Add your favorite seasonings: The basic cannellini bean dip recipe is just a starting point. Feel free to add your favorite seasonings to taste. Some popular options include garlic, onion, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Serve with your favorite dippers: Cannellini bean dip is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of dippers. Some popular options include tortilla chips, pita chips, crackers, and vegetables.

Conclusion:

Cannellini bean dip is a delicious and healthy snack or appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and satisfying snack, give cannellini bean dip a try. You won't be disappointed!
