["Preheat the oven to 350. Fry sausages, breaking up with your spoon, in a hot, 14"" everyday pan. (It's 'every day' for a family of 7) When no longer pink, remove from pan and set aside.", "Saute onions in remaining sausage grease. Add olive oil to saute remaining vegetables (except potatoes) until just tender. Stir in sausage.", "Add the wine with the dissolved cornstarch, balsamic vinegar, and herbs.", "Reduce heat, cover and allow the aromas to fill your house for 15 minutes.", "Turn off the heat and, if your pan is oven proof, spoon/spread mashed potatoes over the mixture. If you need to use a couple 9x13 pans, evenly distribute the mixture between the 9x13s and spread mashed potatoes on them.", "Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese", "Put in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes. Allow to rest 10 minutes and serve large spoonfuls up piping hot. It works well as a main course all alone, but could also be accompanied by a very light salad."]

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions
