A delicious recipe that includes Italian Sausage, tomatoes, onions and mushrooms. The addition of sugar takes the dish to another level. I enjoy having this over white rice.

Use whatever type of Italian Sausage you prefer, hot, medium, mild. I prefer to use Italian Sausage with Basil.  It adds a nice mild flavor to the sauce.
