Step 1

Place the sausage in a large skillet and heat over medium, stirring and crumbling until cooked through, about 5-10 minutes.

Step 2

If there is a lot of grease, drain most of it off, and then add the onion and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables have softened, about an additional 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the rice, white beans, tomatoes, seasonings and water and stir to combine. Cover and allow to simmer for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is nearly tender and the water has mostly evaporated.

Step 4

Stir in the spinach a few handfuls at a time, allowing it to wilt. Cover and allow the rice to finish cooking and then remove from heat.

Step 5

Serve warm.
