My family really enjoyed this sauce! Quick and easy to boot. I didn't have any tomato soup on hand so used a can and a half of tomato paste with water to thin. It smelled wonderful all day in the crockpot too! Completely forgot to add the cheese, but it was still fabulous! We used it as a sauce over spaghetti. Thanks Sage/Rita for a keeper in our house!

This is tasty and easy. I did use only half the amount of sausage to decrease the calories and fat and still present a good dinner. I cooked it on top of the stove and then put it in the oven for 30 minutes. I didn't have rigatoni on hand so used wagon wheels. The looked nice and tasted fine. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
