Wonderful flavor just right substance made us feel good after we had the meal. Very light compared to most sausage dishes. The whole family loves this dish. Very easy to make even for a rookie like me.

Extremely bland, and Johnsonville sausages aren't very good any more. I used them all the time, but now I use store made instead. It's like they use lesser quality ingredients now that prices are rising on everything. I'd rather pay a premium than get an inferior product.

Oh my gosh! This is truly a 5 star meal! It is hearty yet healthy with a variety of wonderful vegetables. My neighbor just happened to drop by with a caprese salad sample for me as I was finishing this dish. He immediately noticed the delightful smell that filled my kitchen and had to have a taste. He echoed my enthusiam. I gave him a large bowl of it to take home for dinner tomorrow night because he had already eaten. This dish has made two families very happy!
