I made this for my family and it was a hit! Even my picky four year old was scaring it down. Thank You.

Easy to prepare, tastes good. My problem is that the onion gets too mushy and the dish is a little soupy. I'm sure there is an easy fix to that though. I love making this in the summer and my husband really loves the sausage in it.
