Leslie's Thick & Chunky Spaghetti Sauce image

When I first got married, I had never made spaghetti because my family didn't eat it. My husband made some sauce & had to leave, and told me to watch it. OK, so I went in & looked at it every once in awhile. He came home a couple hours later to a solid mass of sauce in the pan! He said "i asked you to watch it. Didn't you stir...

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
1 large onion
1 lb hot italian sausage or hamburge
8 oz sliced mushrooms. or more
2 can(s) tomato sauce(hunts)15 oz
1 can(s) tomato paste(hunts)12 oz
1 can(s) tomato paste(hunts) small
1 can(s) petite diced tomatoes
2 tsp minced garlic
1-2 Tbsp italian seasoning
1 tsp seasoning salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
garlic salt, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Dice onions & peppers to your liking.( We like medium) Brown sausage or ground beef with peppers & onions over med high heat.(Peppers will still be crunchy) Drain if desired.( I ususally drain beef, & partially drain sausage.) Reduce to medium.
  • 2. Add all tomato sauce, then paste, stirring to blend.Add diced tomatoes.
  • 3. Add all seasonings& mushrooms. Cover. Allow to cook for 5-10 min. Stirring to avoid sticking.Reduce to med low. Stir occasionally. Taste. Add garlic salt if needed. Serve over pasta of your choice.
  • 4. This sauce can be eaten after 30 min., but tastes better if cooked longer. I make this in the morining before work, put the whole pot in fridge, Then pop it back on the stove when I get home to reheat slowly. Something about the sauce getting cold & reheating just makes it taste even better.
  • 5. I also use this sauce for baked ziti, chicken parmesean, manicotti & lasangna.
  • 6. Used this sauce from freezer to make Tammy Todd's skillet lasangna! So easy & so good!
