MY FAVORITE SPAGHETTI SAUCE WITH MEAT



My Favorite Spaghetti Sauce with Meat image

This recipe for spaghetti sauce is my favorite as it's so easy and tastes so good! I use wine in it instead of water and it gives it a knock-your-socks-off flavor! Good served with french bread and/or specialty breads like Asiago Cheese and Olive bread.

DON'S FAVORITE SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Don's Favorite Spaghetti Sauce image

This is my husband's favorite spaghetti sauce that he requests frequently. I looked through 17 pages of spaghetti sauce on Zaar and never found one quite like it. It's very simple, tasty and freezes well. We like to add garlic, mushrooms, green bell peppers, basil and Italian sausage to this whenever I have them on hand. Although this is ready in about an hour, I usually let it simmer longer to meld the flavors.

LAURIE'S ABSOLUTE FAVORITE SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Laurie's Absolute Favorite Spaghetti Sauce image

Description from Laurie: I've been using this recipe for 17 years. A friend of mine was a nurse's aide at a nursing home, and was given this recipe by a sweet old Italian lady there--so what a surprise, since this recipe calls for all powdered spices. Besides this recipe making really delicious sauce, it is consistently good because everything is measured. I also measure the spices into a baggie and take it on vacation to make for dinner at the rental. I make the sauce nearly every week because it is a family favorite and the price is right (the sauce costs .88 per can and the paste is .33 a can, and all my spices are the cheapie brand. Sometimes I double it and freeze some --- but the armona is so enticing that it makes it worth it to cook it up fresh.

Categories     Easy

Time 6h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 (26 ounce) cans tomato sauce, plus two cans water
6 ounces tomato paste
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons oregano
2 teaspoons dried basil
1/4 cup sugar (I reduce to 2 T as it is too sweet for me)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (I use olive)
1/2 teaspoon salt (I also add pepper)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
2 lbs ground round
2 eggs
2 cups dry breadcrumbs (or crushed saltines) or 2 cups Italian breadcrumbs (omit salt and spices)
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon italian seasoning (or to taste)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Add all ingredients, except soda in a large crock-pot.
  • Cook on low for 6-8 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • Add soda (to reduce tomato acid) and 1/2 cup of cheese. Stir.
  • One hour before serving, make meatballs about golfball sized, dropping them into the sauce raw. The meatballs will soak up and absorb the sauce.

KIDS' FAVORITE SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Kids' Favorite Spaghetti Sauce image

No added sugar here. This isn't a sweet sauce, but a very hearty sauce. I found this in Valentine Treats book. My family liked this sauce and I liked the fact I was getting veggies into our diets. When I made this sauce I used ground chicken/turkey sausage, I used fine chopped petite baby carrots, I was out of tomato juice so I used tomato sauce, and I substituted water for the red table wine.

Categories     Sauces

Time 55m

Yield 8 cups, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb lean ground beef
1 lb Italian chicken sausage
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups chopped onions
3 minced garlic cloves
2 medium celery ribs, diced
2 carrots, peeled and shredded
1 tablespoon dried oregano leaves
1 tablespoon dried basil leaves
1 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon paprika
14 ounces tomato sauce
11 ounces tomato juice
6 ounces tomato paste
1/4 cup red table wine (optional)
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • In a skillet, over medium heat, brown the ground beef and sausage. (You won't need any additional fat; the sausage will provide enough). Use a wooden spoon to crumble and mix the meats.
  • Meanwhile, in a dutch oven over medium heat, add the oil and onion and saute until onion is limp, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, celery, and carrots and continue to saute for 3 minutes. Stir in the oregano, basil, celery salt, red pepper flakes, and paprika and continue to saute for 2 minutes.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer the browned meat into the dutch oven. Stir in the tomato sauce, juice, and paste; wine; and water. Bring the mixture to a boil. Turn the heat to low and continue to simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Turn off the heat, cover, and let the sauce cool to room temperature. If desired, use a hand blender to pulse the sauce several times for a smoother consistency. Reheat and serve over your favorite pasta. Refrigerate for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 4 months.

FAVORITE SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Favorite Spaghetti Sauce image

This is the sauce I've made for years. We don't like loose hamburger, but instead like meatballs and Italian Sausage.

Provided by Daune (pronounced "Dawn") Browne

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb hamburger
3 heaping Tbsp parmesan or romano grated cheese
1/4 c breadcrumbs; 1 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper
2 eggs
1 Tbsp parsley and 1 minced clove of garlic
cooking oil to cover bottom of skillet
1 lb italian sausage, cut into pieces desired and 3 whole cloves of garlic
SAUCE:
2 large can(s) whole tomatoes
2 8-oz can(s) tomato paste

Steps:

  • 1. Mix all meatball ingredients, moisten with small handful of water and then roll into medium sized balls and fry until almost done. Remove from pan.
  • 2. Fry sausage pieces and garlic cloves until nicely browned. Remove from pan.
  • 3. Cook tomato paste in the pan used for browning meats for a couple of minutes.
  • 4. Empty tomatoes into a saucepan (I like a smooth sauce, so I blend them in a blender first). Otherwise, break up tomatoes with a spoon. Bring to a soft boil, turn down to a simmer and add the tomato paste to the simmering tomatoes.
  • 5. Add the sausages, garlic cloves, meatballs and season all with a couple pinches of basil leaves and salt and pepper to taste.
  • 6. Simmer for 2 hours partially covered and stir once in awhile.
  • 7. Be careful when stirring not to break up the meatballs.
