Mom'S Spaghetti Sauce With Sausage

• 1/2 lb hot Italian sausage link
• 1/2 lb sweet Italian sausage link
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, chopped
• olive oil
• 1 (28 ounce) can whole tomatoes, squashed
• 2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
• 2 (6 ounce) cans water
• italian seasoning
• oregano
• 2 bay leaves
• ground black pepper
• parsley flakes
• 1 (4 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained

1. Leave sausages whole. Brown for 45 min over medium heat.
2. Saute the onion, green pepper and garlic in a little olive oil.
3. Put sausages and vegetables into a dutch oven. Add tomatoes, tomato paste and water.
4. Add listed spices to taste. Add mushrooms.
5. Cook 2 - 3 hours over low heat. Keep a close watch as it can scorch. If it gets too thick, add some water.
6. This is beyond good if also served with the recipe I posted for Mom's Italian Meatballs so that you get all those flavors and can eat a little sausage and some meatballs at the same meal.
