Hi everybody! I have a fun dinner that is truly versatile. My friend Mindy shared this with me and I (FINALLY) tried it out. So delicious! We're big fans of this now. I'm not sure what to call it because it can be changed and tweaked in many ways, so I'll just say it's a versatile Italian veggie and sausage dish!
It's a super easy dish but involves a lot of chopping. Get out that food processor, or if you're like me, ask those teenagers to help!
You'll need:
3 red bell peppers
6 celery stalks
3 lbs mushrooms
2 lbs Italian flavored sausage
So bright and fresh looking!
So, once the sausage has cooked and the veggies are starting to soften, you can add several options:
2 large cans tomato sauce
OR
2 large cans chopped tomatoes
OR
1 large container V8 (spicy version or regular)
Start adding spices. We've cooked this with spicy V8 and added Italian seasoning, with regular tomato sauce and added cumin and oregano, and with canned tomatoes and Italian seasoning.
It makes a difference because...
Here's the really versatile part:
you can serve this over noodles, in a bread bowl, or over rice pilaf. I even had some leftover over steamed cauliflower. SO GOOD! I really think this might be one of those recipes you can't ruin.
So, there you have it! A dish I waited way too long to try, and now is a family favorite. It sounds simple and ordinary, but the flavor is a crowd-pleaser. Thank you, Mindy!
Here's my oldest so kindly giving her sweatshirt to my youngest at a baseball game. I'm so happy it's warmed up a little because those first games were COLD.
Happy, happy Spring! (Today it was 86F but the night is still chilly, so I'm sticking with "Spring".)
Have a wonderful weekend!
