Very tasty, diet-friendly, and very easy: this will become a regular dish as our house. The only thing I would change would be the recipe title, as I imagined a heavier recipe until I explored the ingredients. I used frozen green beans and corn, thawed, and canned Roma tomatoes for the fullest taste. Normally I don't use bread crumbs of any sort, but they added a comfort food feel to a very light dish. (I also learned that soaking my brown rice for 2 hours prior to cooking it ensured perfect brown rice in 20 minutes of simmering.) I used sweet Italian turkey sausage links with casings removed after baking; I would use the hot Italian when available for a little extra pizzazz. (I have recently learned how little grease comes out of these lean turkey sausages, so I am devouring recipes using that ingredient.) Made for Please Review My Recipe tag.

This is actually 4.5 stars. I was surprised at how good this was for the little effort this takes to put together! I was unsure to use canned or fresh green beans. I used canned green beans. Smellyvegetarian recommended fresh green beans after I received a response from asking this question. I did not add the salt but added some additional Worcestshire sauce. I would recommend fresh tomatoes over canned if you were going to substitute. I also used canned bread crumbs. My DH said to make this again. Made for Went to the Market 4/2011.

I live in Knoxville, TN with DH, my beautiful son, and the most spoiled cat on the planet! I grew up in Cincinnati and landed in TN by way of Bloomington, IN and Santa Fe, NM. Needless to say, it's been a long, strange trip!! To explain the name: I was veg for 11 years, vegan for 1. In the last year or so I started eating poultry and fish again, but my brother-in-law's nickname for me (smelly vegetarian) has always stuck. Also...thanks a million to my Zaar fairy godperson :)!!! <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Holiday-plaid_HPI.gif"> <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v726/annacia/Permanent%20Banners/cc-banner-7-09.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/590105/hcabc.jpg> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/kiwidutch/My-3-Chefs%20banners/my3chefs2008Small.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
