We just finished this up for dinner and it was so yummy and works great with this week's sale ad at Publix! There are lots of recipes out there for the Al Fresco Chicken Sausage that's on sale this week, and when I read the ingredients (and was pretty impressed), I decided to try it out.  Here's what you'll need . . .
1/2 cup diced onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 (14 ounce) cans Del Monte diced tomatoes, with Basil, garlic & oregano, drained Del Monte Tomatoes BOGO $1.39, use $1/5 from 9/19/10 RP

I made this last week when my 10yo had a friend over. Between just the three of us, we ate almost the entire thing. I made it again tonight for the whole family plus one of my husband’s friends. It was a big hit again. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!
Thanks so much for letting me know you liked it! It’s been awhile since we’ve had it here, so I need to add it back to the menu plan soon. 🙂 So glad you enjoyed it!
