Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage links and sear them on all sides until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausages and set aside; they will finish cooking in the oven.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Mix well to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
Add the drained pinto beans, kidney beans, and black beans to the skillet. Stir in paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Transfer the bean mixture to a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Nestle the browned sausage links into the mixture, ensuring they are partially submerged.
Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the casserole to thicken and the sausages to fully cook through.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your hearty Hot Sausage Links and Beans Casserole!
