Description

Ingredients

• 1 red onion, diced (about 1 cup)
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 lb bulk Italian sausage (hot or mild, whichever you prefer)
• 1 can (15 oz.) tomato sauce
• 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
• 3 c beef broth
• 1 tsp basil
• 1 tsp marjoram
• 1 tsp oregano
• ½ tsp red pepper flakes
• ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 3 oz. pepperoni slices
• 1 c sliced fresh button mushrooms
• 1 can (2 oz.) sliced black olives (drained), or ⅓ cup sliced fresh olives
• For Serving:
• shredded Parmesan cheese
• crackers, optional

Directions

• To begin, cook the diced onion, diced green bell pepper and Italian sausage together in a Dutch oven over medium heat. As the meat cooks, break it up with your spoon.
• When the meat is browned and the onion & pepper are tender, (about 5 minutes) drain off any excess grease if necessary.
• Add in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, beef broth, basil, marjoram, oregano, black pepper and red pepper flakes. Stir these all together.
• Bring this to a gentle boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Add in the mushrooms, pepperoni and olives. Cook for 5 more minutes, or until the mushrooms are just tender.
• Serve the stew with shredded Parmesan (or mozzarella) cheese, and crackers.
• Enjoy!
