Directions

1 In 3-quart saucepan, cook sausage and kale over medium-high heat 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sausage is no longer pink.
2 Stir in cooking sauces and beans. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until kale is tender and flavors are blended.
3 Meanwhile, set oven control to broil. Place bread on cookie sheet. Brush lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil; sprinkle with cheese and garlic. Broil with tops 4 to 6 inches from heat 1 to 2 minutes or until edges of bread are golden brown.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

*Spinach leaves can be substituted. Do not cook with sausage; add with cooking sauces and beans in step 2. Reduce cooking time to 6 to 8 minutes.

**One or two slices per serving frozen five-cheese or Parmesan Texas toast, heated as directed on package, can be substituted for the baguette, olive oil, Parmesan cheese and garlic. Omit broiler step.

Used spicy sausage. I had never used kale before and missed the note about removing stems. That would have made for a nicer eating experience. The serving is generous. I added a half can of water to thin out consistency. Easy to make and good flavor.
