Tips: I don't cook with smoked sausage very often but I was intrigued by a sale of a 14 oz. sausage for 99¢. My whole family loved this recipe and there are enough things in it that the kids could pick out what they didn't like and still have plenty left to enjoy. I happened to have fresh pineapple on hand so I used about a cup of cut-up pineapple and used the juice that had accumulated at the bottom of the bowl. I also shared this recipe at The Grocery Cart Challenge's Recipe Swap.
