Ingredients
- 5 pounds Italian sausage links

Great
This dish was a total winner!! My family loved these sausages
I was looking for an alternative to rigatoni or chili, which it seems are my go-to when cooking for a large group and this turned out to be the ticket. The only thing I changed was while I was browning the sausage, I threw the rest of the ingredients in a large roaster oven and let it come to a boil, then I added the browned sausage and covered it and just let it simmer for a few hours. Everyone raved about it! I will definitely make it again. Thanks for a great recipe!
This turned out delicious. I made it for my parents and my dad said that it tasted just like the sandwiches at the fair and that I was the new sausage peppers and onions sandwich maker! Definitely will make again soon!
A bit too watery
This was great, I tried to cut it to 5 servings but I think I got the ratio wrong. We didn’t mind the sauce because it tasted great, I was just wondering if I made this incorrectly.. It did not look like the photo.
Used this basically as guide for making its,Ian sandwiches with leftover breaded veal cutlet. It was great – we had openfaced with cheese melted on top. Yummmm
Delicious! This hit the spot on a cold, rainy Sunday evening. I used turkey Italian sausage and added fresh herbs to the pot. The house smelled wonderful as this simmered on low all day. Paired it with fresh fruit and ‘World’s Best Potato Salad’ from AR, and we greatly enjoyed dinner. I’m using the leftovers served over cooked pasta later in the week.
I made this for my husband’s 40th bday party and it was completely gone before the end of the night. People raved about it!! I did wait to put the sausages in the sauce until the last two hours, but other than that, followed the recipe.
Easy! Used a crockpot instead!! Husband had two servings
Excellent recipe. Ate it without bread, though. Also, only cooked it for 2 hrs and it came out fine
This is a great recipe. I make it in the slow cooker…I brown the sausage first, there isn’t a ton of grease by making it in the slow cooker. I don’t add the pan juices because the sausage is already simmering all day. Makes the house smell yummy!
I do love this but my husband insist on my his own spaghetti sauce for it, lol.
Great recipe. Easy and fast to put together…great candidate for the crockpot. If you have extra, use it another day over pasta…Just add some wine or water to thin it, and heat and top with parmesan.
I made this for a huge crowd just like the recipe called for. I made this the day before my party and simmered it for 5 hours. The day of the party I cooked it for another hour. I would have liked the sauce thicker though. Everyone loved it.
Loved these. My mom even said that they are better than hers.
Over the last three months I have made this five times for friends and family and I have received nothing but praise for this recipe – EXCELLENT!!!
Family loved it. Used half recipe and cooked for just 3 hrs on low in crockpot.
The flavor was very good, and very easy to put together. I scaled it down to 1 lb of sausage and put it over spaghetti instead of making it into sandwiches. I followed other reviews and added the peppers in the last hour, and they still got plenty soft. Letting them simmer 6 hours, and they would have dissolved.
Great recipe. I made this recipe in my slow cooker. I actually only needed 5 hours of cook time. It is excellent!
Delicious!
