Meatball sandwiches!!! I had l/o 6 meatballs with sauce in the freezer. Figured it wasn't quite enough for a dinner, but perfect for sandwiches. Had some "steak rolls" from Walmart...a match made in Heaven! Yum!
When I make my white bean and Italian sausage soup, if I am using canned beans, I don't rinse them. I was rinsing them, and the soup was not as good as when I made it with soaked, dried beans. But, when I didn't rinse the canned beans, it was noticeably tastier. I tried it once with canned black beans that I didn't rinse. It tasted great, but it gave the soup a kind of yucky colour.
I made Chief's Sloppy Joes for lunch today. It was yummy! Served it with the rest of last night's coleslaw.
Thanks Chief! I did leave out the bay leaf and I added a touch of wine, as I thought it needed a bit of liquid. I did drain and rinse the kidney beans, maybe I should not have?

taxy, which recipe do you use? I was just thinking about making something like that for supper one night with some of Andy/S&P's Cast Iron Skillet Rolls
I use Chef John's recipe. This link has the video and the ingredient list. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/279875/italian-white-bean-and-sausage-stew/ I have typed out the instructions from the video. If you want, I can copy and paste those for you. Even though I wrote the instructions down and typed them into CMT, they don't show, when I share from there. I used young rainbow chard instead of kale.
So taxy, when you use canned Beans, you're draining but not rinsing, is that right?
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Just hope it's better than the canned stuff.

Almost, I use the entire contents of the can, no draining. But, as I mentioned, the black beans gave the soup a yucky colour. White navy beans worked great and did not give the soup a yucky colour.
I've started a pot of Chef John's Italian White Bean and Sausage Stew!
It's simmering right now and I can't wait to have a small bowl.
I just remembered, it freezes well. DH said it may have even improved, especially in texture, with the beans falling apart more. Do let us know what you think of it and if you made any changes / tweaks.
Edit: I see you already tasted it and listed your changes. You posted while I was still typing.
