"Sausage stew" is one of the "fast" things I make that all the kids will eat. Sausage curry also sounds good for them with its distinct lack of heat (youngest will actually eat spicy stuff as long as it's not too hot, middle child just won't XD), might suggest that to JJ to try sometime :D
Can always make it bland and then spice it up for those that like it. Not as good as the spice being in it from the start, but useful for boosting the heat later.
