I have made this twice and love it, only change I made was to add 1 can tomato paste instead of thicking. freezes well also. thanks for a great recipe.

I wanted to find a good recipe for sausage & peppers to make for New Year's Day. I found it in yours! I used both hot and sweet Italian sausage and mixed them. Instead of slicing the green pepper, I cut it in wide strips. The next time, I will use 2 green peppers instead of 1. This is definetly an old standby recipe that I was looking for. Thank you for posting it!

This is nice dish, I had to reduce the chili significantly because of the kids and it still seemed a bit much. We did enjoy this dish, though it was really runny and I needed to let the extra liquid boil off... I didn't want to add any cornstarch to muck up the nice color. Thanks for sharing!

All I can say is WOW. So good, so easy, a definite keeper. I followed other reviews and doubled the sauce, I was out of tomatoes, so I omitted the catsup and used a can of tomato paste and water instead. My husband even said how good the sauce was, and that rarely happens. Thank you so much!

OMG!! I made this recipe to try for my grandchildrens (twins) baptism, and am soooo glad I did! I tried it out on my family 1st which they all loved and doubled up to see how it went frozen in batches for my oamc cooking. I used one of the the frozen batches on an unexpected trip,,,and it went perfect! I fed 11 people and they said i mastered this recipe,,,not to look anywhere else. Only change I made was using 2 green peppers and omitted the lemon pepper( did'nt have) and the cornstarch and 2 tsp water.I pureed the tomatoes in food processor.I cut suasages in half,,,than half again. I also doubled the sauce recipe because it was so good, and I was freezing it so I was afraid of losing some of the taste. Thank you so much for posting!!!
