Spaghetti Sauce

Serves about 6 adults

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 San Marzano Style whole peeled tomatoes. Crush in your hands, or chop them up in a bowl.

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 the meat mixture and continue cooking. stirring occasionally until onions are softened.

Next, add your Hunt’s tomatoes, 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 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.

Note: I buy whole tomatoes because I know what is in the can. You need the wine in the sauce. You also need to simmer the sauce 3 or more hours to get it to taste awesome.
