Happy Monday friends! Did you have a good weekend? Mine was filled with drama, overflowing sinks and unopenable locks! Needless to say, we were stressed, looked and smelled GREAT and became pros at breaking and entering. Just a typical weekend for the Brennan’s! HA! By the time Sunday evening rolled around I was exhausted. The last thing I wanted to do was cook a fancy Sunday dinner. So, I kept it simple and whipped up Chicken Cacciatore. Except with sausage. So, Sausage Cacciatore.

I’m great with titles.

To make this fabulously tasty super simple dinner, start off by getting some Sweet Italian Sausages. I used 3. {Anyone else out there who would sell their soul for sausages? No? Just me? Ok.}

Put these into a hot pan and let them sizzle away on both sides until they are finished cooking–10 minutes or so.

While the sausages are cooking, chop up some veggies. These ones are pretty typical for a cacciatore. And, I used one big portobello mushroom cap because that’s what I had. Feel free to use the small ones or leave the mushrooms out all together.

Once the sausages are done, take them out of the pan to cool off a bit.

In that same hot pan, pour in some olive oil.

Saute all those veggies you chopped until they start getting tender–not too long; maybe 3 minutes.

Slice up the sausages and toss back into the pot.

Crack open two cans of diced tomatoes too!

Pour in the tomatoes with some spices and a little water or leftover broth.

Stir it all together, cover and simmer! That’s it! After 20 minutes, this is done!  See? EASY!

While that is cooking away, you’re gonna want to cook some pasta. Or rice. Whatevs.

Serve hot with lots of parmesan! Mmmm….

We LOVED this! Sausage Cacciatore is where it’s at! The sausages added a delicious flavor to the entire dish different from chicken cacciatore that I loved! If you have a few Italian Sausage links on hand, give this a whirl tonight! You all will love it to!
