1/2 onion, chopped
2 green bell peppers, chopped
2-3 cloves garlic, chopped or pressed
2-28 oz. cans diced stewed tomatoes, undrained
2-cans water (from stewed tomatoe cans)
2- small cans tomato paste (or I used one large one 12 oz.)
1 Tbsp. Italian Seasoning
1 bay leaf
8 oz. mushrooms (small to medium size...brown ones have good flavor), cleaned
1 package Hot Links, browned and cut in half
1 package Sweet Italian Sausage, browned and cut in slices
12 meatballs, if desired (I used frozen Italian meatballs today...sometimes I make these from scratch)
1 package boneless porkchops, browned and cut in thirds
In a large pot (8-10 quart size), saute onion, bell pepper and garlic in olive oil. Add stewed tomatoes, water, Italian seasoning, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then turn to simmer. Add remaining ingredients and simmer all day.
I cut the hot links and sweet sausage links differently so people who don't like spicy, know which sausages to stay away from. i also leave the mushrooms whole for the same reason. Those who don't like mushrooms can easily avoid them.
With this recipe, there is something for just about every taste preference. I love the pork chops that simmer all day in this sauce. Try it...I think you will like it too.
Serve with (un-burnt) garlic bread and a green salad. If you are over 21...a glass of red wine is perfect with this meal!
