Notes
- If your family doesn't eat pork, there are great Italian turkey sausages on the market.
- Fresh tomatoes are very sweet, but canned tomatoes have some acidity to them. Adding a bit of sugar balances this without making the sauce sweet. Different brands may need more or less sugar, so start with a little and go from there until you no longer taste the bitterness.
- Please note that the nutritional information does not include the hoagie rolls. This makes a great low carb dinner if you leave them out!
