How to Make Sausage Tomato Gravy

Brown 1 pound of Italian sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in 28 ounces (one 28-ounce can) of crushed tomatoes, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional), and salt and pepper to taste.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Serve hot over your favorite dish – biscuits, grits, mashed potatoes, or even polenta!
