Slow-Cooker White Bean and Kielbasa Stew
Sang An
How to Make It
Step 1
In a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker, combine the beans, kielbasa, broth, tomatoes (and their juices), onion, garlic, rosemary, and 1 cup water.
Step 2
Cover and cook until the beans are tender, on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 5 to 6 hours (this will shorten total recipe time).
Step 3
Just before serving, stir in the spinach. Serve with the bread.

I made this tonight for dinner and was not entirely impressed. I did use some kielbasa from Sprouts, but it just didn't have the necessary saltiness to carry the dish. I might try again with another kind of sausage. It did soothe my throat on a day when I had an icky cold though! ;-)

This turned out great!
I pre-soaked my beans overnight and it took about four and one-half hours to cook.
I made one changes though, I added baby bella mushrooms and used frozen defrosted spinach instead.

Cooked on low for about 8 hours. Used dried beans - came out perfectly.

I followed the recipe exactly except that I used precooked turkey kielbasa. The beans were just fine and in fact, I had it on high and it only took 4.5 hours to cook. Next time I would make it with half the beans and more tomatoes...there was just WAY too many beans. Other than that, it tasted good, not fabulous, but good.

For anyone who used canned beans, how many cans?

This was gooood!! I used canned butter beans instead and I added more broth than was necessary because it was more soupy than stewy but delish just the same. I also added crushed red pepper for that extra oomph!

I was nervous about the lack of pre-soaking, so I started this on high. After about 4 hours the beans were getting tender, so I turned it to low and cooked it for 3 more hours. They were fine! This dish was so simple and tasty, will definitely make it again.

I want to make this recipe with chicken instead. Does anyone have any advice for cooking time?

This was yummy! I will definitely make it again. My modifications were: turkey kielbasa, canned beans & fresh rosemary. I'm greek...and love a splash of lemon juice - so I added a splash to the bowls when served...YUM! If you use canned beans...reduce the liquid! Oops...forgot to do that! I'll definitely double the spinach the next time.

Used canned beans instead of dried (a mixture of red and white, drained) and used tomato soup + water instead of chicken stock. It was delicious! The toasted baguette to soak up the broth is important and the spinach is key. 15 minutes prep in the morning and then stir the spinach in just before dinner. Easy and delicious.
