Recipe Warnings

Source Quantity Mismatch Warning: The Shop It section lists “3 Mild Italian Sausages or 8 oz” while the Mise It section uses “8 oz Italian Sausage.” This export uses the working Mise It quantity for execution.

Source Integrity Warning: The live page contains broken pricing artifacts, including “Buy What I Need $704.78” and distorted per-serving costs. These were removed during export.

Consumer Note: Banana peppers are listed as optional “to taste” in the Mise It section, so they are preserved as an optional topping here. :contentReference(oaicite:0){index=0}
