1 1/2 lbs sweet Italian sausage
1 1/2 lbs hot Italian sausage
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 (29 ounce) cans Contadina tomato sauce
2 (29 ounce) cans of contadina tomato puree
2 minced garlic cloves
3 tablespoons dried basil
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon beef base
MEATBALLS
3 lbs ground beef
1 1/2 cups seasoned dry bread crumbs
3/4 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 large eggs

1
Cut the sausage links in half and place them into a 6 quart stock pot.
2
Add the olive oil and garlic, stir to coat; brown on medium heat stirring often to keep them from burning.
3
Add the tomato sauce, puree, basil, oregano and salt to the browned sausage and reduce heat to low; cover and slow simmer.
4
MEATBALLS.
5
Mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, Worcestershire and eggs together in a bowl.
6
Shape meatballs into size of your choice and place into a shallow glass baking pan.
7
Preheat oven to 400u00b0F and bake meatballs from 20-40 minutes depending upon size.
8
Add meatballs to the sauce and let simmer for 3 hours;stir occasionally and skim the fat off the top so the sauce is not greasy when it is done.
9
Add the tomato paste 1 hour before the sauce is done to thicken it up.
10
1/2 hour after adding the tomato paste test the sauce; if it is too sweet from the paste add the beef base to counteract the sweetness--if not, leave this out and enjoy!
