A month ago I received a blogger’s favorite Christmas present, a box full of sponsor goodies. These goodies, to be exact, were fresh herbs squeezed into tiny squeeze tubes that are stored in the refrigerator. In addition I received tiny little resealable containers of lightly dried herbs. And hot and cold insulated food packs to boot! These goodies were provided by Gourmet Garden for a special blogger event coming in February called #TripleSBites.
And so that led to the creation of this Italian Sausage and Pepper Stroganoff.
Mild Italian sausage and sweet bell peppers are mixed with creamy mushroom soup and fat free Greek yogurt to make a savory meal that your taste buds will devour.
