au gratin potatoes plus
This recipe just jumped into my head this morning while I was trying to figure out what's for dinner. Wanted to make it substantial, it's pretty chilly today. One loves broccoli, the other doesn't, but will endure it with a little cheese. Would have used ground turkey, but it was frozen solid and the Italian sausage wasn't. Suffice it to say it turned out fantastic and all were happy it with it . We enjoyed it and if you decide to make it I hope you will also.
