My daughters shared this recipe with me, and I've since shared it with many others. It fits the bill for economy of time and money. Plus, it tastes great! —Nellie Lamb, Muskogee, Oklahoma

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound fresh kielbasa or Polish sausage links
  • 1/2 pound Italian sausage links
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 medium green pepper, chopped
  • 3-1/2 cups beef broth
