  1. This recipe looks super easy and tasty!!! I think the entire family will like it!! Im going to try it tonight for supper :) Thx!!!

  2. Ok so this was a huge hit at my house! I added one pound of ground meat and doubled everything else. That gave two meals, one for tonight and the other for the freezer. I will be making this on a regular basis for sure!

  3. OMG YUUUMMY!! I have to make this soon! What brand of Italian Sausage do you buy?
    FYI- It doesn’t say anything about fennel in the ingredients, but then it says in #3 (in the directions) to “Add mushrooms and fennel”.
