1
Combine the first 8 ingredients, beef to egg and brown in a pot, stir constantly, it will stick a bit because of the cheese, but it will come up again when you add the water later.
2
Cook and stir over medium heat.
3
Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer for about 2 hours, covered the last hour.
4
I needed to adjust the seasoning, it needed more salt than I had originally anticipated.
5
Makes a lot and the sauce is supposed to be thick, add a bit of water as it is cooking if you feel the need.
6
Cook pasta, I like mostaccoli, separately and toss with the sauce.
7
This makes enough sauce for about 2 pounds of dry mostaccoli, or about 10 people.
8
Freezes really well.
