Ingredients

serves 4, 1 cup per serving

　　Cooking spray

　　1 tablespoon canola or corn oil

　　7 1/2 ounces precooked low-fat smoked sausage ring, cut lengthwise into quarters, then crosswise into 1/4- to 1/2-inch slices

　　4 cups shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix (about 8 ounces)

　　3 cups frozen fat-free, no-salt-added cubed hash brown potatoes or 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced (about 1 pound)

　　1 14.5-ounce can no-salt-added stewed tomatoes, undrained

　　1/2 cup chopped onion

　　1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic or 2 medium garlic cloves, minced

　　1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

　　1/2 cup dry white wine (regular or nonalcoholic) or water

　　

Step 1

Lightly spray a Dutch oven with cooking spray. Pour in the oil, swirling to coat the bottom. Heat over medium-low heat. Add the remaining ingredients except the wine, stirring well. Cook, covered, for 10 minutes.

　　

Step 2

Stir in the wine. Cook for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender, scraping several times to dislodge any browned bits.
