How to Make Italian Sausage Dinner Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked Italian sausage, onions, bell peppers, garlic, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  4. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
  5. Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the vegetables are tender.
  6. Remove the foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking to allow the top to brown slightly.
  7. Let the casserole stand for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
