I have been wanting to make this forever. Muffin Goddess' picture makes this recipe look so tasty. It was Delicious! I thought that it would take longer to make than it did. Also, I found it simple to make. I did make one change - I added fresh crushed garlic. I just love garlic. I think that a little fresh garlic accented the flavors. I hope that I did not offend the author chef! Thank you for this recipe Cybill.

What a great recipe! I subbed some Lite Polska Kielbasa for the andouille sausage (I didn't have any andouille, and I wanted to use up the kielbasa anyway). I needed to use up an orange bell pepper that was hanging around in the crisper, so I chopped that up and added it along with the onion. I used Chardonnay for the wine (on hand). I didn't have any canned broth, so I used chicken Better than Bouillon instead. I loved that this went together so quickly, and it looked so appetizing too (I wish I could've taken a photo, because the colors in the dish were so nice and bright). Hopefully one of the talented Zaar photographers tries this recipe soon! Definitely a keeper! Flavorful enough for DH and Dad, mild enough for Mom and Gram, the whole family was very impressed with this and I didn't even have to go to the grocery store first. Thanks for posting!

Absolutely delicious and simple to make! I didn't have any adouille sausage either, so I used some chicken and habanero sausages that I had in the freezer. Other than that, I followed the recipe as written. It was so good that my husband and I had a hard time stopping ourselves from finishing the entire dish! Thanks for posting, Cybill.

This is a delicious and nutritious quick recipe! We loved it! We eat lots of vegetables so I added garlic, fresh red pepper, celery and zucchini for color. No Andouille sausage so I used Sweet Italian Sausage with just a hint of kick. Served it with fresh sweet collard greens finished steamed with crumbled bacon. It was a winner.
