This is my favorite recipe. The only substitution I make is 1 can of diced tomatoes and 1 of stewed tomatoes for the whole tomatoes. Excellent every time I make it. My wife even licks the plate after she is done.

I was told to give this recipe 10 stars......The only thing I changed was I used Turkey Italian sausage and used a jar of roasted red peppers instead of the fresh....it was wonderful and I am sure by the response I got I will be making on a regular basis...
