My Awesome Spaghetti Sauce

By adventurefamily5

This is my recipe for spaghetti sauce. We LOVE it! It makes enough for a large crowd and leftovers, or you can freeze it in portions to your family size.

***Tip: don't freeze the sauce in plastic bags. It makes the taste off a bit. I freeze mine in Gladware plastic containers or Tupperware.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lb lean ground beef
• 1 lb bulk sausage
• 2 Tbsp dried peppers
• 1-2 Tbsp dried onion
• 2 Tbsp chopped or minced garlic
• 2 cans crushed tomatoes (28 oz each)
• 2 cans tomato paste (12 oz each)
• 2 cans tomato sauce (12 oz each)
• 1 c ketchup
• 1/2 c sugar
• 1 Tbsp Italian Seasoning
• 1 Tbsp chili powder
• pepper to taste
• dash or so of cayenne pepper

Preparation

Step 1

In a large pot, brown hamburger and sausage with onion, pepper and garlic. Drain or use paper towels to get grease out of pot.

Add remaining ingredients and simmer at least one hour. I like to transfer this to a crock pot and let it cook several hours.
