Spagetti Sauce Recipe

Carey's favorite meal is a good plate of spagetti, so for years I have been trying to make the "perfect" spagetti sauce. After trying a little of this one, and a little of that one ~ I think I have finally found the sauce!

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef

3/4 pounds hot italian/pork sausage

1 bag of frozen meatballs

1 onion - chopped

2-3 teaspoons garlic - minced (I use the kind in a jar that you keep in the fridge)

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon white corn syrup

1 & 1/2 teaspoon oregano (I use the kind in the jar that you keep in the fridge)

1 & 1/2 teaspoon italian seasonings

3/4 - 1 teaspoon crushed red peppers

1 cup red wine

2 (6oz cans) tomato paste

1 (28 oz can) tomato sauce

2 (28oz cans) diced tomatoes

2 (28oz cans) crushed tomatoes

I cook the meat. Then saute the onions, and all seasonings for about 5 minutes. Then I add the red wine and simmer for another 5 minutes. Finally, add all tomato products and let simmer all day. I normally keep this on the stove cooking on low all day long, however I placed it in a crockpot and let it cook all day with the same results.

This makes enough for us to eat one dinner, Carey lunch the next day, as well as a whole nother batch for me to freeze. So my guess would be around 14 or so servings. I use this sauce in my lasagna too and it's excellent.
