Categories Spaghetti

Time 2h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb italian sweet sausage
1 lb hamburger (I use chuck (80% I think it is)
2 fresh garlic cloves (minced)
1/2 medium onion (chopped)
2 (28 ounce) cans tomato puree (see note above on the brand I use)
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
2 1/2 cups water
3 1/2 teaspoons basil
2 1/2 teaspoons parsley
2 teaspoons brown sugar (could use white if you want to)
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup parmesan cheese

Steps:

In a heavy pot, brown sausage and hamburg, breaking it up into smaller pieces.
Add chopped onions and minced garlic and cook till meat is done; add tomato paste and stir until it is mixed in well.
Add tomato puree, sauce, and water (when measuring the water, put it into the puree can to rinse it all out and then add to meat mixture).
Add basil, brown sugar, salt, parsley, and black pepper and mix well.
Add the Parmesan cheese (yes, to the the sauce) and mix it in well.
Simmer on low for 2-4 hours stirring occasionally so it won't burn; if you think it needs some thinning down, add about 1/8 cup water at a time; don't add too much because you want it thick so it will stick to your pasta.
Cook your spaghetti and enjoy! Eat what you want and freeze the rest in containers that will hold the amount you will eat at a sitting.
