Although my grandma was Danish, she was famous for her slow-cooked Italian tomato sauce. It cooks a long time, but is well worth the wait.

Time 6h45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
1 pound hot Italian sausage, casings removed
½ pound ground beef
1 large onion, finely diced
¼ cup minced garlic, or to taste
4 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
2 (14 ounce) cans tomato sauce
½ cup chicken broth
½ cup Cabernet Sauvignon (or other dry red wine)
1 tablespoon dried Italian herb seasoning
½ cup chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in Italian sausage, ground beef, onion, and garlic. Cook and stir until the meat is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, about 15 minutes. Use a potato masher to mash and blend the meat mixture every few minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease.
  • Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, chicken broth, red wine, Italian seasoning, basil, salt, and black pepper.
  • Transfer the sauce to a slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.

I wasn't a fan of this recipe. The sauce was too sweet for my taste, and the meatballs were a bit dry.

This was a good recipe, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I added more garlic and oregano, and I used a different type of tomato sauce.
