    Very tasty and filling! The family loved it and asked to have it served again. All ingredients were included. I adjusted the amount of some, because we like heartier stews. I doubled the carrots and celery. I used 4 Aidell's chicken & apple sausages. The instructions are clear and concise. Because I had the time today, I allowed the sausage and veggies to cook 10 minutes longer on a lower heat (to allow the flavors to blend and the veggies to "sweat") before adding the liquid. I served the stew with a side of roasted green beans and a crusty multigrain baguette toasted in the oven for a few minutes.
