For an even richer flavor, consider browning the sausage in the Dutch oven before adding the onion and mushrooms, then deglaze the pot with the red wine. Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste. Some prefer a slightly sweeter sauce, while others prefer it more savory. The sauce can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw completely before reheating.
