How To Make kale & spinach bean pot - delish!

In a dutch oven, add some olive oil and turn heat to medium high. Add the sausage and cook until no longer pink, chopping as it cooks.

Step 2

Once sausage is cooked add more oil if needed and add the onion. Continue cooking until translucent. Stirring occasionally.
Step 3

Next, add the kale, spinach and garlic. Continue cooking a few more minutes until spinach and kale are beginning to wilt.
Step 4

Now, add the tomatoes, juice, salt, pepper, garlic powder, thyme, sugar. Stir to combine...place lid on pot and simmer for roughly 20 minutes.
Step 5

Stir in the beans and continue cooking until heated through. I smashed up some of the beans to thicken the sauce some. Stir in balsamic if using...Taste to adjust any seasonings.
