Pasta Meat Sauce - Cheater's Version

Looking for a super easy but delicious meat sauce?  Try this.  It makes enough to feed 18+ if you have a crowd.   It was so tasty that even our light eaters had seconds.  I'm going to use Italian Sausage instead of ground beef in all my meat sauces now.

Pasta Meat Sauce Cheater's Version

1 medium onion, chopped
4 T. olive oil
3-4 T. garlic, minced
4 jars of pasta sauce (I usually use a variety of whatever brand is on sale of Tomato-Basil, Marinara, Roasted Garlic, etc.)
1 t. or more red pepper flakes
1 lb. sweet italian sausage

If the sausage is in links, remove the casings and fry the italian sausage in crumbles.  Set aside.

Saute the onion in the olive oil in a large stock pot until translucent.  Add the garlic at the end and saute for another minute.  Add the jarred sauces, red pepper flakes, and sausage.  Bring to a simmer and simmer for 30 minutes or so.

Use it right away or let it cool and freeze if for another day.

Yum.
