Sausage Stir Fry

Sausage Stir Fry

From the $7 a Meal Cookbook by Linda Larson, this Sausage Stir Fry recipe is a sweet and savory mixture – great with steamed rice.

This recipe makes 4 servings for about $6.

Ingredients:
¾ pound sweet Italian sausages
¼ cup water
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
1 yellow summer squash, sliced
1 cup frozen broccoli florets, thawed

Instructions:
In a large skillet, cook sausage and water over medium heat for 6-8 minutes, turning frequently during cooking time, until water evaporates and sausages begin to brown.
Remove sausages to plate and cut into 1 inch pieces.
Drain fat from skillet but do not rinse.
In small bowl, combine vinegar, sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, cornstarch, and water and mix well. Set aside.
Return skillet to medium-high heat and add oil.
Heat until oil shimmers, then add onion. Stir-fry until onion is crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Add squash and broccoli; stir fry 4-5 minutes longer, or until broccoli is hot and squash is tender.
Stir ketchup mixture and add to skillet along with sausages.
Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until sausage pieces are thoroughly cooked and sauce bubbles.
Serve immediately over hot cooked rice.
