  • 12 oz ground sausage We use mild Italian or sage sausage
  • 1 can petite diced tomatoes 28 oz can. Can substitute crushed tomato
  • 1/2 onion Chopped

  • If serving over rice, simmer over low heat while rice cooks.

Notes

  1. If you want a “saucier” dish, add 1/2 cup of stock (chicken, beef or vegetable) while the dish simmers.
  2. Serve with cheddar cheese or sour cream if desired.
  3. Reheats great!
