'This recipe is a favorite of my vegetarian friends,' writes Virginia Anthony of Blowing Rock, North Carolina. 'I lightened it by using egg substitute and reduced-fat cheese. I also added a few more vegetables.'
This Fire-Roasted Tomato and Italian Sausage Grinders recipe contains sweet italian sausage links, provolone cheese, hoagie buns, fire-roasted diced tomatoes, can crushed tomatoes and more.
When winter is getting me down, this is what I make. I've found roasting Roma tomatoes is about the only way to make a store-bought tomato bought in the dead of winter taste "real."
This is the perfect comfort food for cold days. To make it vegan, substitute non-dairy ingredients for dairy. Leftover filling makes a great lunch! If you want to make mashed potatoes from scratch, you will want at least 4 cups when you are through.
It looks like cole slaw, but this shredded salad of root veggies -- carrots, radishes, parsnips and celery root -- is an excellent accompaniment to heavier winter foods.
