3 lb. ground beef
1 (12 oz.) pkg. breakfast sausage links (I use Farmer John)
3 Italian squash, sliced
2 yellow crook-neck squash, sliced
1 medium purple onion, sliced into rings
1 red bell pepper, sliced into rings
1 (8 oz.) pkg. sliced mushrooms
3 (29 oz. ea.) cans Italian style stewed tomatoes (Hunts)
3 (29 oz. ea.) cans tomato sauce (Hunts)
olive oil
salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste (seasoned pepper is best)
4 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
Italian seasoning

Place vegetables in large baking dish. Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Sprinkle on olive oil. Toss and bake uncovered at 375°F for 1 hour, tossing once more.

Fry ground beef and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and Worcestershire sauce. Break sausage links into pieces and fry separate.

Spray a large pot with non-stick cooking spray (I use olive oil Pam). A large roasting pan placed over two burners will also work.

Combine all ingredients in pan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer for at least two hours, stirring every 10 to 15 minutes.

Serve with dressed spaghetti noodles (butter or olive oil, salt, pepper. garlic powder)

Note: You can use half the sauce and freeze the rest!
