Onion Italian Sausage
When my five children were still all at home, this was one of their most-requested meals. I have long had this recipe among my standbys, and, like all cooks who improvise and experiment, I've changed it as our tastes have changed. Having my recipe judged grand prize winner is exciting...and I sure have to smile when I think what my children will say to me. More than once they've pointed out featured recipes in other magazines. But, Mom, they tell me, you've been making this for years
