Ingredients

For the sauce

Instructions

  1. Cut the Italian sausage into 3-inch lengths.

  2. In a large, heavy pot, heat olive oil over medium-low heat and brown the sausage slowly.

    🍳 Cooking the sausage slowly helps to release its flavors. Make sure it's nicely browned on all sides for that extra depth of taste.

  3. Once browned, remove the sausage and set it aside. In the same pot, sauté the chopped green peppers, garlic, celery, and onions in the sausage grease until they are soft and fragrant.

  4. While the vegetables are sautéing, add in the oregano, rosemary, garlic salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

  5. Return the browned sausage to the pot, then add the tomato sauce, whole tomatoes, tomato paste, mushrooms, bay leaves, and sugar.

  6. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 6-8 hours, stirring occasionally.

    ⏰ The longer you let the sauce simmer, the richer and more developed the flavors will be. Just be patient; it’s worth it!

Place sauce in a freezer container, place plastic wrap directly on top of sauce forcing out any air bubbles. This will eliminate “freezer burn.” Serves 12-16.
