Italian Sauce with Sausage


1.5 gallons tomatoes peeled and chopped
2 lbs italian sausage cut in chunks and lightly fried
3 cups mushrooms
2 cups chopped onions
2 cups chopped bell peppers
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
2 tablespoons spicy italian seasoning (from Sams Club)
2 tablespoons oregano
Seasoned Salt to taste

I brought to a quick boil and then put into quart jars, this made seven quarts
with a bit leftover. PSI 90 minutes at 11 lbs pressure or according to your altitude

This costs approximately $18 to make. $2.40 a jar so thats $1.20 a serving.

For a spicier sauce add just a bit of cayenne pepper

  2. Made this and loved it. Although the next time I make it, I will add more spices. It is great for my kids to open it and toss over pasta on the nights I work late.

    Thank you! Love your blog

  3. I usually tweak every recipe when cooking myself. I start mild because lots of spices change flavor when canned. Sage becomes very bitter. The second time I make a recipe I usually add more spices.
