- 1 cups canned white beans (cannellini or navy), drained and rinsed

Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add sausage; cook 5–7 minutes until browned and crumbling. Stir occasionally; remove excess fat if needed.
- Add onion and potatoes; sauté 4–5 minutes until they start to soften and edges brown. Add red and green peppers; cook 3–4 minutes until peppers blister.
- Stir in garlic, paprika, and oregano; cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in broth; simmer 4–5 minutes until potatoes are tender.
- Fold in white beans and spinach; cook 2–3 minutes to heat through. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice if using.

- Preheat the oven and bake until golden and set; a toothpick should come out clean.
Chef’s Pro Tips
- Brown the sausage well for deep flavor; drain excess fat to keep hash cohesive.
- For extra crust, sear potatoes a bit longer before adding peppers.
- Finish with a squeeze of lemon for brightness or a drizzle of good olive oil.
