Italian Casseroles

One of my favorite meals is Italian Sausage Stew. I first had the dish many years ago. My husband at the time garnered the recipe from his mother, who was of Naples descent.
Campbell's Kitchen has a similar dish, with a pasta twist:
Cheddar Penne with Sausage & Peppers
1 TBS olive oil
1 LB sweet Italian pork sausage, cut into 1/2" slices
1 large green bell pepper, cut into 2" strips (about 2 C)
1 large onion, sliced (about 1 C)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (10 3/4 oz.) Campbell's Cheddar Cheese Soup
1/2 C milk
2 C penne pasta, cooked & drained
Heat oil in a 10" skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook until well browned, stirring occasionally. Remove sausage from the skillet. Pour off fat. Add pepper and onion to skillet and cook until the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and cook and stir for 1 minute. Stir in soup and milk; heat to a boil. Return the sausage to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low. Cook until the sausage is cooked through, stirring occasionally. Place pasta into a large bowl. Add sausage mixture and toss to coat.
Instead of pasta, my recipe uses quartered potatoes and a can of diced tomatoes with juice. Either way, one can't go wrong with Italian sausage.
I know sausage in any form is one of the least healthiest meats, but I simply can't resist.
