Used recipe found here - http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Italian-Sausage-Stew-3

• 1/2 chub of sausage, added italian seasoning
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 can Italian diced tomatoes
• 4 small red potatoes, quartered
• 1/4 cup sliced fresh carrots
• 1 tsp basil
• salt
• pepper
• -I put in some celery seed since I didn't have any celery
• -I also added frozen green beans and some leftover pasta
• 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, optional

Directions

• In a large saucepan, cook sausage over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Drain. Combine the cornstarch and broth until smooth; stir into sausage mixture. Add the tomatoes, potatoes, carrots and basil. Bring to a boil, boil 10 minutes or until tender. Reduce heat. Add beans and pasta

It was great. I don't think you can really mess up a stew like this. You add whatever you want or have and add onion powder, more italian seasoning, salt and pepper until you're happy with it. I'd like to try this one next time - http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Italian-Sausage-Stew-2
