bean & sausage stew

Recipe by
Carissa Weintraub

Very tasty, satisfying, healthy, quick meal! This recipe was thrown together at the last minute with ingredients that had to be used or they'd go bad (the veggies and the sausage). I'd also like to try with red bell peppers and spinach. No additional spices needed as the tomatoes and sausages are pre-seasoned. I served with Tabasco sauce to give it a little kick.
