Ingredients
  

  • 1 28oz can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 14oz can diced tomatoes
  • 1 1/2 tube Jimmy Dean Regular Sausage
  • 1/4 c chicken broth
  • 1 large onion
  • 1 large carrot
  • 5 garlic cloves
  • large handful of fresh basil

Instructions
 

  • In a large dutch oven brown sausage
  • Add diced onion and carrots, cook until translucent
  • Add garlic and cook until fragrant
  • Add crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes and chicken broth
  • Cover and bring to a boil
  • Reduce heat to low and cook for around 3 hours. Stirring occasionally
  • **you can cook at a higher temp, a low rumble boil, for 45 minutes to cook faster. However, the slow cooking process I prefer, helps break down the tomatoes and rids the overpowering acidic taste of canned tomatoes
  • Add in handful of fresh basil and simmer for another 10 minutes
  • Serve and enjoy!
