Ingredients
-
• 1 lb. Circle B Ranch Sweet Italian Sausage or Hot Italian Sausage
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 Yellow pepper
4 garlic cloves, minced
½ cup dry white wine or chicken broth
¼ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. dried thyme
1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 package (6 oz.) fresh baby spinach, coarsely chopped
1 can (15 oz.) cannellini beans, rinsed & drained

Directions
Preheat oven to 375°. In a large skillet, cook sausage, onion and garlic over medium heat until sausage is no longer pink, breaking up sausage into crumbles; drain. Stir in wine, oregano, salt and thyme. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is almost evaporated.
Add cream cheese; stir until melted. Stir in spinach, beans and tomatoes; cook and stir until spinach is wilted. Transfer to a greased 8-in. square or 1-1/2-qt. baking dish. Sprinkle with cheeses.
Bake until bubbly, 20-25 minutes. Serve with crackers.
