Breakfast Sausages (With a Difference)

Submitted by Gwen35

"Sausages are definitely not on my list of top ten favorite foods, but after playing around with them, came up with this idea. They are really quite good. (Note: If I don't use all the fresh tomatoes I buy, I freeze them for later use and they are very good in this dish, fresh or frozen.) Usually, I serve this with white rice or angel hair pasta."
