Spaghetti Sauce

This is a regular feature on our menu, whether it be for Spaghetti, Lasagna or Mostaccioli. We love our pasta. I usally make a 3 lb batch so we have some for leftovers. This freezes beautifully.

Spaghetti Sauce

1 lb Ground Beef
1/4 lb Mild Italian Sausage
1/4 lb Hot Italian Sausage
1/2  medium Onion, chopped
2 cloves Garlic, crushed
1 28 oz can Crushed Tomatoes
1 TBS Italian Seasoning *(see recipe below)
1/2 tsp Sea Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
splash  Red Wine
  {1 - 2 TBS Tomato Paste if needed}


Brown ground beef and sausage together with onion and garlic.
Stir in crushed tomatoes, breaking up any chunks if it's a chunkier brand.
Add Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and a splash of red wine.. Simmer for 15 - 20 minutes.
If the sauce seems too thin, stir in some tomato paste to the desired consistency. Simmer.


This is a great Italian Seasoning recipe. I keep a big jar full of this on hand all the time.
