Ingredients

  • 1 large onion diced
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 2 banana peppers optional
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound ground sausage Italian or breakfast sausage
  • 14.5 ounce diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups V8 Juice
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ cup to 1 cup Water

Instructions

  • Return the cooked vegetables to the pan. Stir in the diced tomatoes, V8 juice (or broth), Worcestershire sauce, water, and uncooked macaroni.
  • Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked through and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Garnish with parsley or finely grated cheese if desired.

Notes

Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
Reheat: Cook in a pan with a splash of water or V8 juice over medium heat, stirring until heated through.
