  1. This is SO good. I doubled it for a crowd and used 1lb regular sausage and 1 lb Italian sausage. I also increased it to 3 15oz cans of tomato sauce and 3 cans of stewed tomatoes. The crowd loved it!

  2. I just made this last night and to sneak the peppers and onions past the kids, I used my immersion blender. Once I blended it a little it was more the consistency of spaghetti sauce. It was so good and even the kids liked it. The leftovers are in the freezer and next time I will boil up some spaghetti to pour it over. I think this will be my go to spaghetti sauce recipe from now on.

    1. Oh you could absolutely add beans to make it more chili like. If you leave out the veggies, it will just be a little more liquidy.

  3. This is so good and so full of flavor!
    Next time, instead of the stewed tomatoes, I’ll add either diced or crushed. I like fire roasted over Italian, too. My people aren’t fans of huge tomato pieces so I was picking stewed tomatoes out to cut up.
    Otherwise, we loved it!
