Ingredients: 1 pound ground beef 4 sweet Italian sausage 4 hot Italian sausage (cut in half so you know which is which!) 2 large onions, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced (or more to taste) 2 cans (6 ounce size) tomato paste 2 cans (28 ounce size) crushed tomatoes garlic salt oregano basil bay leaf black pepper
Directions: Brown ground beef, drain, and set aside.
In large pot brown sausage in extra virgin olive oil. Add onion and saute until translucent. Add minced garlic, stir it around a few times and add tomato paste. Let the tomato paste caramelize, stirring occasionally as it takes the bitterness away.
Add 2 cans of water and stir until blended, then add the crushed tomatoes and ground beef. Add garlic salt, pepper, about 1 or 2 tablespoons each of basil and oregano, 1 or 2 bay leaves.
Simmer for several hours, the longer the better, until desired thickness. The hot sausage will make the sauce a bit spicy, so if you don't like it that way, use all sweet sausage.
