Notes
Substitutions and Variations
You can easily customize this recipe based on what’s in your fridge or what your family loves.- Sausage: Smoked sausage, kielbasa, hot links, or bratwurst all work. Want something more bite-sized? Use little smokies — no slicing needed.
- Potatoes: Yukon Gold, red potatoes, russet potatoes, or any baby potatoes are all fine. Just cut them into 2-inch chunks for even cooking.
- Veggies: Try bell peppers, sweet onion, mushrooms, or zucchini for a different flavor combo.
- Creamy sauce: Skip the diced tomatoes and use a can of cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup instead for a creamy comfort-food twist.
- More sauce: To create a saucier version, add a splash of chicken broth.
