Homemade Italian Sausage Stew
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 10 min. Cook: 1-1/2 hours
YIELD: 6 servings.
One day when I was preparing Italian sausages, I decided to do something different. After browning them, I put the sausages in a pot and added other ingredients, ending up with this stew that my husband and I like very much. We have four grown children and will soon celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary!
