sweet pepper meat sauce

Easy: *****
Tasty: *****

This is the best sauce I've ever made! I used ground chicken, but you could use any ground meat that suits your fancy.

Sweet Pepper Meat Sauce

2 lbs ground chicken
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 28-oz can tomato sauce
1 28-oz can diced tomatoes
1 green pepper, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
¼ cup packed brown sugar
2 tbsp oregano
2 tbsp Italian seasoning
salt & pepper to taste

In a large pot, cook chicken and onions over medium heat until chicken is no longer pink. Stir in remaining ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover & simmer 30-40 minutes or until peppers are tender.

Serve over pasta with melted mozzarella and parmesan on top.
