"This is easy and great tasting but does require about an hour or more of simmering time on top of the stove. Use your favorite Italian sausage links for this and for the best flavor use good-quality Italian canned tomatoes!"

Original is 3-4 servings

I cooked the sausage meat out of the casings then continued with the onion and garlic as instructed then I placed this in a casserole dish with 4 cups fresh oven roasted tomatoes and the remaining ingredients and let this simmer covered at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 2 hours. Man was this good!!! This is a keeper recipe.
