Notes:
- Stove temperatures vary; Make sure your simmer is below the spatter point, adjust heat as needed. Overheating and under-stirring gives a burned flavor that is singularly unpleasant. - If you prefer a chunkier sauce, simply adjust the minced ingredients to a cubed or chopped preparation, and cook on lower heat for an additional 5 minutes or so. - For a more tomatoey than meaty flavor, add a small can of tomato paste. -This freezes well, and keeps for months in the freezer. Very easily reheated. - Optionally it can be prepared in the crockpot/slow cooker. Just pre-brown and break up the sausage, throw everything in the pot, and cook on medium for 5 hours or so. - Enjoy! And let me know what you think!
