A wholesome and easy meal solution after a busy day or for a weekend game night gathering is this one-pot meal. Autumn Harvest Stew is even better when the ingredients can be found at the West Reading Farmers’ Market.
The sausage is the real star; you won’t need to add more flavors. I found help selecting a sausage flavor from the owner of Freeland Market. Based on the recipe I had in mind, we settled on the Smoked Hungarian Sausage.
