I loved this dish (only used 1 lb of sausage). It's one that tastes even better the second day.
Very hearty! I substituted leftover Easter ham for one of the sausages & used only 1 tablespoon cider vinegar instead of 2 as I don't care for the taste of it. Very good recipe, but it does take some time to make it. Oh, and I also used the Rotel Zesty Tomato & Green Chili sauce. Next time, I will probably use regular tomato sauce for a milder taste.
In Feb. before getting answers to what thick and zesty tomato sauce to use for this recipe I decided to use Rotel Zesty Tomato & Green Chili Sauce (Mild). The taste was outstanding! My husband says that recipe is a keeper! I do plan to try the spaghetti sauce and the Contadina tomato sauce. Thanks so much.
I love this recipe the slow cooked smoked sausage with everything tastes delicious with rice. Tastes even better the next day.
To Odessa123 - Contadina makes a sauce that says "Extra Thick and Zesty" on the label. Hope that helps!
Contadina makes the Extra Thick & Zesty Tomato Sauce
This was awsome! The flavours mingled just right. Try Zesty spaghetti sauce for the zesty tomato sauce.
This sounds like and great recipe and I plan to make it in a few days. When I went shopping for the ingredients I could not find thick and zesty tomato sauce. Could someone help me with the name and brand of the product I'm suppose to use? I gave only one star rating due to the recipe incompleteness but will rate again once I have made the dish.
I am planning to make cook this recipe soon. However, when shopping for ingredients I could not fine an item called thick and zesty tomato sauce. What is suppose to be used? A name and brand would be helpful. Thanks
