Mamma Mia Meat Sauce image

My mother clipped this recipe out of USA Weekend back in 1993 - it was always the sauce she made while I was growing up (it's a recipe by Kathie Lee Gifford). Now that I cook myself, I've taken the recipe and adapted it to a few of my own 'likes' and now use this as my sauce for pasta, lasagna and ravioli! Can't be beat! (this recipe freezes very well!)

Time 2h45m

Yield 6 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs ground beef
4 (28 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 (18 ounce) can tomato paste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup dried parsley (yes, 1 cup!)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons crushed garlic
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese, grated
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1/2 tablespoon sugar (if needed)

Steps:

  • In large saucepan or Dutch oven (at least 6 quarts), brown ground beef until no longer pink; drain.
  • Add remaining ingredients and bring to boil.
  • Reduce heat; simmer for 2-3 hours (the longer the better for my own tastes), stirring occasionally.
  • If sauce tastes a little on the acidic side (from tomato sauce/paste), add the sugar.
  • Serve over pasta!

This meat sauce is a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. I sneak in some chopped spinach and they don't even notice. It's a delicious and nutritious way to get them to eat their veggies.

I'm a vegetarian, but I still love this meat sauce. I just omit the meat and add some extra vegetables. It's a delicious and hearty sauce that's perfect for a pasta dish or a lasagna.

This meat sauce is perfect for freezing. I make a big batch and then freeze it in individual portions. It's so convenient to have on hand for a quick and easy meal.

I love that this recipe is so versatile. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your own taste. I like to add a little bit of red wine and some dried oregano to the sauce. It gives it a really rich flavor.

This meat sauce is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I added some chopped carrots, celery, and onions to the sauce and it turned out great. It's a delicious and healthy way to get your daily dose of vegetables.

This meat sauce is a classic for a reason. It's simple to make, but it's packed with flavor. I love the combination of ground beef, pork, and sausage. It's the perfect sauce for a weeknight dinner.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of meat sauce. But I'm so glad I did! This sauce is amazing. It's so flavorful and hearty, and it's perfect for a cold winter day.

This meat sauce is a labor of love, but it's totally worth it. The slow-simmering process infuses the sauce with so much flavor. I love serving it over spaghetti with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.
