Notes
While you don't have to brown the sausages and onions, this will add a lot of flavor. Don't cook them completely, just until they start to brown on both sides.
You can sub marinara sauce for the tomato sauce.
Taste the sauce before serving. You may want to add a teaspoon or 2 of sugar if you prefer a sweeter sauce or some red pepper flakes if you like more heat.
