Ingredients

2 1/2 lbs fresh Italian sausage

1 pinch sugar

Preheat oven 325 degrees.
Cut Italian sausage into 2\" pieces.
Bake in oven 30 minutes.
In the meantime cut onions into 1/4 slices.
Slice bell peppers into 1/2\" slices.
Saute onions in olive oil just until tender; set aside.
In same skillet, saute bell pepper slices just until tender.
Add drained tomatoes, Italian seasoning and pinch sugar to pan; stir to mix.
