Bolognese Sauce - Bulk Freezer Recipe image

This recipe makes a HUGE amount of sauce. I usually make a batch once every two or three months, and freeze it in 2-cup serving size increments (each 2-cup serving feeds 2 to 3 people, depending on how much you like sauce). Then I can defrost & enjoy yummy homemade pasta sauce at least once a week, with little to no effort involved! It's super simple to make this super tasty sauce. I pour the sauce over our pasta of choice, sprinkle a generous serving of Parmesan, Asiago & Romano cheese blend over the top, and pair it with hot, crusty Italian bread!

Time 1h15m

Yield 12 quarts, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs sweet Italian sausage
2 lbs ground chuck
2 large white onions
12 garlic cloves
12 cups crushed tomatoes
12 cups diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
1 tablespoon dried basil
1/2 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
4 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine and brown sausage and ground beef in large dutch oven, or other heavy-bottomed pan. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in same dutch oven over medium high heat, and add red pepper flakes, chopped onion and garlic. Cover and cook until onions are translucent.
  • Add tomatoes, seasonings, browned meats and remainder of olive oil and mix well.
  • Bring to low boil, then lower heat and simmer for 30 to 60 minutes, stirring often.
  • You can choose to omit the red pepper, but my family prefers the extra kick! The granulated garlic can also be omitted if you don't care for a strong garlic flavor. I use the 102 oz. food service-sized cans of crushed and diced tomatoes (each can contains 24 half-cup servings). You can buy these at warehouse stores like Sam's Club, BJ's or Costco.
