Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ pound sweet Italian pork sausage, casing removed
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 ¾ cups Swanson® Beef Broth or Swanson® Beef Stock
1 (14.5 ounce) can whole tomatoes, cut up
1 ½ cups Pace® Picante Sauce
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 (8 ounce) package medium shell-shaped pasta, cooked and drained
1 (10 ounce) package frozen cut green beans, thawed
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
⅓ cup shredded Monterey Jack or mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Shape the sausage firmly into 1/2-inch meatballs.
  • Heat the oil in a 4-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook until well browned on all sides. Remove the meatballs from the saucepan. Pour off any fat.
