6-8
ingredients
- 1 lb mild Italian sausage
- 1 (8 ounce) carton fresh mushrooms
- 1 green bell pepper, seeded
- 1 small yellow onion, peeled
- 5 garlic cloves, peeled
- 2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
- 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
- 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
- 0.5 (2/3 ounce) packet dried Italian salad dressing mix (I use Good Seasons)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
directions
- Squeeze the sausage out of the casings into a skillet and brown; you can also "brown" the meat in a microwave colander.
- Drain off fat and add meat to crock pot.
- In a food processor, combine mushrooms, onion, garlic, and bell pepper and process until minced. If you don't have a food processor, just chop well.
- Add mixture to crock pot.
- Add tomato sauce, tomatoes (with juice) and tomato paste. Stir in the salt, pepper and dry salad dressing mix.
- Stir through, cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or 4 hours on high.
- Serve over hot pasta. I prefer whole wheat spaghetti or linguine.
- Top with shredded Parmesan or Romano cheese.

I'm an Arkansas native but spent my teen-aged years in Memphis. I have four grown sons and 12 grandchildren. I currently live in Chattanooga, TN and cook mainly for just two, which has been quite an adjustment!
