This Italian sausage beans and greens is probably my favorite Italian recipe that doesn’t involve pasta. Savory sausage, earthy beans, and tender escarole, with just the right seasonings make this one of the best dishes ever for a cold winter day, but this is so delicious, you’ll want to enjoy it all year long. Enjoy!

I'm thinking smoked ham hocks could work in place of the sausage…
You are fantastic sir thank you can't wait to try this with the beans and greens from the garden next season. Cheers!
Fantastic!
Made this twice. Its outrageously good.
"But whether you decide to expose your sausage or not" 😳
Good stuff!
Everytime I hear your opening song I think of everyone loves Raymond
Question on greens- My standard store doesn't carry escarole, and I'm wondering how to substitute. I have iceberg lettuce, but I'm assuming that's too flimsy. Would collards or cabbage work instead, and if so would it be correct to use something like a 30min-1 hour cook time for those? I'm also guessing the sausage should be held back until the last 10-15 min. It seems to get chewy with longer cook times. Anyway, does that seem like a good way to go about it?
I have no interest in this dish, I just wanted to hear Chef John's voice!
I never knew Emo Phillips could cook
Freakin love you, Chef Jon.
Stupid Youtube! I havnt been getting notifications of you channel in a long time. Glad to see youre still at it. I unsubscribed and then resubscribed again. Hopefully that fixes the problem.
So simple and spectacular
For the sake of everything that is good, PLEASE DROP THE OBNOXIOUS CADENCE 😂
Might be just as good with mushrooms instead of meat.
I made this for dinner tonight. Delicious! Thanks Chef!
Me, just listening to the video in the background.
"…whether you decide to expose your sausage…"
Wait, what?! 😳
🤣🤣🤣
Made this but with butter beans and kale for the greens, huge hit!! Thanks chef John
Much much better if you saute the sausage with NO CASINGS. Browns up real nice!
i think this would be really good with chorizo too!
Made this a couple days ago and added some bacon with the sausage and was amazing
The cadence of a roller coaster
Made this tonight! Cannellini beans, Savoy cabbage, pancetta. But, you know, the same difference. Saw this after I'd actually made it, so my own approach and I also had carrots and celery in there too, but alas!, no lemon zest or juice, and I'm sure that would have been terrific. Next time.
At our house we make it with kale and a splash of half & half or cream. Maybe some chopped up potatoes if we're feeling nasty.
I will decline to expose my sausage
Wow, that was awesome. Flavor layers ad Infinitum. The perfect comfort food while trapped in a polar vortex waiting for the blizzard of the century. Bravissimo!
This soup is a HUGE WINNER! Bravo Chef John. We love your creations
This voice must be a terrible AI voice , 😵💫
You should be called the sing song chef, why do you talk with a sing song as you deliver your message?
This was incredibly delicious!!!
Mine came out a bit too salty. I used the correct measures. Maybe rinse the beans next time or omit salt until the end to taste.
I could totally enjoy that over some rice!
I just made this dish. I am incredibly impressed. My favorite dish I've made in months. I used my homemade smoked Italian sausages. I used Swiss Chard since I couldn't find escarole. My wife wants me to make it with my kielbasa, and I believe it will be excellent. Thank you for this one!
So similar to pasta fazool, which is a great thing.
Made this recipe, just had to sub in chicken sausage, but it was so good and will join my regular rotation. I ordered escarole for delivery and the shopper bought me romaine lettuce instead, so I had to place another order lol.
YOU CAN INVOLVE PASTA……. IF YOU LIKE.
I'm subscribed but your videos don't show up in my subscriptions feed.
Rhyming green with green. Lou Reed would be proud.
I made this two times already – so amazing! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe!
Tried this, it’s delicious even with a bad Parmesan thank you Chef
Did I miss the 'you can do what you want because after all you are the X of your own Y" ?
soooo healthy
