Review:
I adapted this from a traditional recipe. My mom made it for me last year when I had Skyler and put it in my freezer. I loved it and I thought it could work in the crockpot. Originally it was a meatless sauce. I decided to add the turkey and sausage for Greg. If you want, you could leave it out or put hamburger meat in, or whatever you like. It got runny in the crockpot, so I just used a slotted spoon to serve it over my noodles. I think that this would taste really good over spaghetti squash or served with french bread. 4 stars.

    Chili peppers like cayenne have a bad–and undeserved–reputation for contributing to stomach ulcers. Not only do they not cause ulcers, these hot peppers may help prevent them by killing bacteria you may have ingested, while powerfully stimulating the cells lining the stomach to secrete protective buffering juices that prevent ulcer formation.
