Notes

I think the notes people include in their recipes make them more personal. If I write a note myself about a recipe, it will always be written in purple.

Italian Stew

Italian Stew

5 medium-size potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
4 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2" chunks
2 medium-size onions, peeled and cut into eighths
1 small can mushroom stems & pieces, drained
2 cups frozen corn OR 1 (15 oz.) can of corn kernels, drained
2 cups frozen cut green beans or 1 (15 oz.) can of cut beans, drained
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. dried basil
salt & pepper to taste
grated parmesan or Romano cheese for sprinkling
1-1/2 lbs. of sweet Italian sausage (either bulk or in links or ring)
28 oz. can of tomato sauce or diced tomatoes in puree, your choice

Fry Italian sausage in skillet till browned, breaking apart into chunks. (If using links or ring, squeeze the sausage out of the casing before frying). Drain excess fat. In an oven-safe 3 quart, casserole, combine remaining ingredients except for the grated cheese.

Bake at 350, covered, for 45-60 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Serve with grated parmesan or Romano on top, along with a nice crusty Italian bread.

This is a very flavorful stew and hits the spot on a cold snowy day. This will serve 4.
