All-Day Spaghetti Sauce Recipe

Name: All-Day Spaghetti Sauce
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef; 56 ounces diced tomatoes; 56 ounces tomato sauce; 48 ounces tomato paste; 8 bay leaves; 3 garlic cloves; 4 tablespoons basil; 2 tablespoons oregano; 4 tablespoons onion powder (or equivalent real onion); salt; pepper

Servings: persons

1
Brown beef in a skillet.
2
Put into a large stock pot with the tomato sauce, paste, and diced tomatoes.
3
Add most of the required amount of all the spices.
4
Let simmer on low, stirring enough to keep it from burning to the pan bottom, for an hour or so.
5
Taste a spoonful and add the rest of the spices to taste.
6
TIPS: When you add spices, mix well and simmer 1/2 hour before you taste and add more if necessary.
7
The thicker the metal of your stock pot, the less you have to stir.
8
Cover it to prevent splatters, but not airtight (I use a spoon to prop the edge of the lid to let vapor escape.).
9
The longer it simmers, the thicker it gets (yum).
10
The sauce is also very good without the beef.
