HOMEMADE MEAT SAUCE | DINNER RECIPE

I have been looking for a new homemade spaghetti recipe and I finally found it! We all know homemade is better than store bought, and this recipe makes quite a bit for the two of us, so we can freeze it and use it later.

Homemade Meat Sauce

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef

1 pound ground Italian sausage

1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 cup)

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes

1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce

1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste

2 tablespoons sugar

1½ teaspoons dried basil

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and ground black pepper

Directions:

1. In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, cook beef, sausage, and onion over medium heat until mostly browned, about 5 minutes. Drain if desired, and then stir in garlic.

2. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, sugar, basil, Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more salt to taste if desired.

*I actually let mine simmer for around an hour. The longer it simmers, the better...in my opinion ;)

You could also use this in Lasagna.
