While we use Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage for that perfect balance of savory and rich flavor, feel free to swap it out for Italian sausage or your preferred variety. And although the recipe calls for canned beef broth, you can always use homemade stock for an extra touch of flavor. Finally, when it comes to wine, the type is completely up to your taste—while the original recipe calls for Red Zinfandel, we often use Merlot because it’s a staple in our kitchen.
