Today I have a simple recipe great for cold weather days.

This is a sweet and salty dish that reminded my Mom of Chinese food, like sweet and sour. Also, despite its numerous ingredients, it is actually pretty simple to make. Here is what you
need:

• 1 pound fully cooked smoked sausage, cut into 1/2 inch slices
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 medium green pepper, cut into 1 inch chunks
• 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
• ¹⁄₂ cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 (20 ounce) can unsweetened pineapple chunks, undrained 
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• hot cooked rice

Alright, so first you need drain the pineapple chunks, but keep the juice. Next, cook the sausage, onion, and green pepper together in a skillet (large enough to hold all ingredients) until onion is translucent.

Meanwhile, combine the cornstarch and reserved pineapple juice until smooth. When the meat mixture is ready, add the tomatoes, broth, brown sugar, garlic powder, black pepper, and pineapple chunks into sausage mixture. Bring to a boil and cook uncovered for 5 minutes.

That is it! Now the sausage is ready. While you are cooking this, you might also want to cook some rice to put this on top.
