24 oz. spaghetti noodles

1 24 oz. can sauce
1 24 oz. can diced or stewed tomatoes
1 12 oz. jar red peppers and onions
1 12 oz. jar mushrooms
1 16 oz. can olives
1-2   package frozen sausage (cut breakfast links, NOT maple, but don't be afraid to try hot).

Throw it all in the crock pot, season with basil, garlic, onion powder, a dash of pepper. You can also buy 'Italian seasoning' at the dollar store, but I don't use this. Cook at high for two hours, or low about four hours.
Vegetarian; use zucchini, extra mushrooms, or even black beans instead of sausage.
This makes plenty of food, we are five and have as much left as we ate.
A little cheat I use on everything: I thicken with mash potato flakes;

yes, even this.
Serve over freshly boiled noodles.
