The recipe is great as is but I also love it because you can change it based on what your family likes or doesn’t like. You can substitute ground beef or ground turkey for the Italian sausage in this recipe or if you like some heat you can use some spicy Italian sausage. If you don’t have cannellini beans you could use kidney beans. I also love that the recipe calls for a frozen veggie mix which you can change up as well, and no chopping veggies!
This entire recipe was purchased for less than $10, score one for the grocery budget!
Serve this Easy Italian Stew with Ritz crackers or your favorite crusty bread.
