OH YAA! This sounds great! Since I have all the ingredients I may give this recipe a try in the next couple days. I have some wonderful locally made Italian bulk sausage...I'm hoping it will work just as well in this recipe. I'll let you know. I always try to stay true to the cooks ingredients, but our closest market is close to an hours drive away.
