Feeds about 6
INGREDIENTS:
½ pound Italian sausage, casings removed
½ pound ground beef
½ chopped small onion
2 crushed cloves of garlic
1 teaspoons brown sugar
1 (6 ounces) can of Hunt’s Tomato Paste.
1(28 ounces) can Hunt’s diced tomatoes (I use one can of Hunt’s San Marzano Style whole peeled tomatoes). Watch for peels on tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) cans Hunt’s tomato sauce
1 cups of water
1 ½ teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
½ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ cup red wine
Directions:
Brown meat and Italian sausage (break it up as you stir it)
Add onions to meat mixture and continue cooking. stirring occasionally until onions are softened.
Next, add your Hunt’s tomatoes that you break up, Hunt’s tomato paste, and Hunt’s tomato sauce.
Next, mix in the spices, sugar, and garlic.
When the sauce has started boiling, add your wine and water.
Simmer on low (stir often) for an hour.
If you want to cook the sauce a little longer, that works, too! Sometimes I’ll let it simmer for 3 hours or so.
I just add another 1/2 cup of water to keep it from getting too thick. (be sure to keep an eye on it to prevent it from burning).You can use this sauce on pasta or lasagna. It’s really the best sauce.
