Rachael Ray's Non-profit Organization Yum-o!

INGREDIENTS:

• 12 ounces small yellow-fleshed potatoes, such as Yukon Gold
• 8 ounces green beans, trimmed
• 10 ounces Italian sausage, casings discarded
• Salt and pepper
• 1 cup grape tomatoes
• 4 cups pumpernickel bread, cubed
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 12 ounces reduced fat cheddar cheese, shredded
• Chili powder, for sprinkling

DIRECTIONS:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 450°F.
2. In a large saucepan, combine the potatoes and enough salted water to cover the potatoes with 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil; cook until crisp-tender, about 20 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes to a conlander. Add the green beans to the boiling water; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Drain in the colander with the potatoes; let cool.
3. Meanwhile, form the sausage into 1-inch balls and place in a shallow baking dish. Bake, turning occasionally, until browned, 15-20 minutes.
4. Halve the potatoes and season them with salt and pepper. Arrange the potatoes, green beans, meatballs, tomatoes and bread cubes in serving bowls.
5. In a small, heavy saucepan, whisk together the chicken broth and cornstarch and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the cheese, remove from the heat and stir until melted. Sprinkle with the chili powder and serve with the vegetables, meat and bread for dipping.
