A family favorite - holds well and make double if more than 4 people. Keep extra spinach to toss in for warm ups. -
Delicious and full of nutritious veggies... all the kids loved it and we will definitely make it again. Thanks! -
Followed recipe precisely. Simple to make with very flavorful results. DH said it's a definite make-again. -

- 50/50 mix of spicy and sweet sausage adds just the right amount of kick... even if you have someone with a "delicate mechanism" at home. - Add one medium onion and double garlic and carrot portions. - Have additional spinach for left-overs - Using a carton of beef broth provides some much needed extra liquid when you're heavy on veggies.

Nice recipe. Great way to "sneak in" some vegetables to kids. I used a large (28oz) can of tomatoes and canellini beans instead of the great northern beans. Good cool weather dinner. I will be making this again. Thanks Bev!
