What's for Dinner? Slow Cooker Italian Sausage with Sauce

This past week, Italian Sausage was on sale at Giant (our grocery store) for $3.99.  I had a coupon for 50 cents off, and Giant doubled that coupon.  So I was able to purchase the package of Italian Sausage for $2.99.  And since I had all the other ingredients for this in my pantry, dinner tonight only cost $2.99!  Here is what's for dinner...
