My All Day Spaghetti Sauce image

I'm posting this as a request of BoneMan. It's a good slow cooking sauce even better the next day. It does make a lot and freezes well. You can do a lot with the left overs. I'll post one of our favorites next. Feel free to add or omit anything. I tried real hard to measure it's usually a pinch of this and that, so amount are as close i can get, LOL. Along with the can tom I use tom out of the freezer from the summer garden that have been through the food mill and cooked down. I always have home made meatballs in the freezer so feel free to add your favorite m-ball recipe or store bought. Servings are a guess. Depends on what you do with it and how you freeze the left overs.

Time 6h20m

Yield 15-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 -6 sausage links, cut into bite size pieces
18 ounces boneless skinless chicken pieces, cubed
3 -5 boneless pork chops, cubed (can use bone in or pork ribs just be careful of the bones)
3/4 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup chopped bell pepper
1 (8 ounce) package sliced mushrooms
3 garlic cloves or 2 tablespoons bottled garlic, minced
1/2 cup red wine
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
3 (29 ounce) cans pureed crushed tomatoes (I use seasoned)
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chicken stock
1 1/2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 1/2 tablespoons dried basil
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons brown sugar
24 meatballs

Steps:

  • I a large stock pot heat olive oil over med heat.
  • Add your cubed meats (if using bone-in pork do first) to brown. You want to sear your meat. When meat is seared remove to a plate.
  • To all the drippings add your onions, peppers and shrooms. Saute 3-5 minutes, until soft.
  • Add garlic cook 2 minutes careful not to burn.
  • Return meat to the pot.
  • Add tomato paste.
  • Cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add wine cook for 2 minutes. Scrapping the bottom, you want all those good bits.
  • Add the cans of tomatoes stir to mix well. Add all your dry spices and brown sugar.
  • Bring to a soft boil, turn heat down to simmer.
  • Add your meatballs.
  • Use the chicken stock to thin as mine tends to get thick and bubble and spurt.
  • As it simmers all day stir to not burn. Keep on the heat. Add 1/4 cup of the stock at a time as needed.
  • Mine usually cooks 6-8 hours.
  • Serve with pasta of your choice, salad and crusty garlic bread.
