Introduction

My neighbor gave me this awesome recipe that her grandfather used to make. It used regular pork sausage and way more cheese and butter. This is my low cal version. I serve it with 1/2 cup of cannelloni beans and I add those to my calorie count separately. You could cook them in the soup though and add them into the recipe. (My boyfriend won't eat the beans.)
