 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2      lb            Italian sausage
                       -(hot/sweet/both)
  1      lb            Green bell peppers
    3/4  lb            Spanish onions
 30      ml            Garlic
    1/2  lb            Canned mushrooms
  3      c             Italian tomato sauce

Fry sausage until 3/4 cooked (about 15 minutes).  Remove.  Cut and
core peppers and slice into strips.  Peel and slice onions into
strips. Fry pepper strips in sausage grease add oil if not enough
grease. Fry about 5 minutes; add onions and continue frying.  Chop
garlic and add mushrooms and fry about 5 minutes. Add sausage and
sauce and simmer on low until meat is hot, about 10 minutes.

I usually serve this as a "hot" dish in a hot and cold buffet. It can
serve as a main dish with a side of pasta or rice. Also makes a great
hot sandwich on Italian bread, or great pocket sandwich on syrian
(pita) bread. It also makes great table art when you drop it on a
white tablecloth (smile). Its a very versatile dish can substitute
with any kind of meat.  Enjoy!
