italian sausage and peppers {don't knock it 'til you try it}

 I admit that this dinner doesn't necessarily look the most appetizing, especially when you look at the sauce in the pan. Buuut, don't knock it 'til you try it! It got rave reviews in the Chunn household. If even the kids will eat something that looks like this, you know it must be good.

Ingredients:
1 package mild Italian Sausage
1 green pepper, thinly sliced
1 red pepper, thinly sliced
1 large or 2 small sweet onions, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp. tomato paste (we just used the whole can)
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes

*cook sausage in large saucepan over medium-high heat until browned on all sides. You do not need to cook it through at this point. Remove sausage from pan and set aside.
*Add onion and peppers to grease left in pan and cook over medium heat until softened. Add garlic and cook 1 minute.
*slice sausage into 1 inch pieces. Return to pan with all other ingredients.
*Cook for 5-10 minutes, until sausage is cooked through and sauce is thickened.
*Serve on hoagie rolls or over rice.
