LINDA'S MEATY SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Linda's Meaty Spaghetti Sauce image

My own creation that I started making many moons ago. It's a great sauce, with LOTS of flavor packed into one pan! Peppers and Tabasco give it just a slight kick, but you can adapt it to your liking. You can also add 1 c. good red wine if you like, at the same time you add the tomatoes. I add water 1/2 c. at a time during cooking time, so sauce doesn't get too thick. Depending on how long you decide to cook it, depends on how much water to add. The more you cook it the tastier it is.

Time 4h25m

Yield 1 lg. batch, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (102 ounce) can tomato puree
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
1 (16 ounce) container mushrooms, sliced
2 lbs hamburger (or 1 lb hamburger and 1 lb. Jimmy Dean sausage)
1 lb italian sweet sausage or 1 lb hot Italian sausage link
4 large onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon dried basil
2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
7 dashes Tabasco sauce
1/2 teaspoon red hot pepper
1 tablespoon salt (to taste)
parmesan cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • In a lg. pot saute onions with basil and Italian seasoning, then add hamburger. Cook until meat is no longer pink in the middle. When done, drain all the grease. Set aside.
  • Cook sausage links separately, and after cooked, cut up into bite size pieces. Set aside. When cool, refrigerate until about 1/2 hour before sauce is done, then add to sauce. (This helps the sauce from becoming greasy).
  • Add tomato puree, tomato paste, mushrooms, hot sauce and peppers to meat mixture. Mix well.
  • Add the Red wine, if using.
  • Add salt to taste, starting with 1 T.
  • Cook on med. heat until sauce comes to a boil, then cook 4-6 hours covered, on low heat so it will slightly bubble while cooking, or until desired thickness.
  • Stir every once in awhile, so the sauce and meat doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • A 1/2 hour before serving add sausage from the fridge, and heat until sausage are nice and hot, and sauce is bubbling.
  • Serve with your favorite pasta.
  • Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan, if desired, and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the sauce will be. Use fresh, ripe tomatoes, onions, and garlic. If you can, use San Marzano tomatoes, which are a variety of plum tomato that is particularly flavorful and low in acidity.
  • Brown the meat well. This will help to develop the flavor of the sauce. Be sure to drain off any excess fat before adding the meat to the sauce.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the sauce, the better it will be.
  • Add a little bit of sugar to the sauce. This will help to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes. Don't add too much sugar, or the sauce will be too sweet.
  • Season the sauce to taste. Use salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little bit of heat.

Conclusion:

Linda's Spaghetti Sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is perfect for spaghetti, meatballs, lasagna, and more.
