Janets Favorite Spaghetti Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Brown beef in oil.
• Drain oil.
• Add all other ingredients.
• Simmer at least 30 minutes, covered.
• Simmer 10 to 15 minutes uncovered.

Steps:

• Brown beef with diced onion and drain.
• In separate sauce pan mix all other ingredients over medium high heat. Bring to boil.
• Reduce heat add beef and onions. Let simmer. The longer the sauce simmers the better it taste. (We usually simmer for 3-5 hours).
• I almost always end up adding more spices while it cooks to get it just right, so the measurements above are a starting point.

Steps:

• Brown ground beef, onion, and garlic in oil. Drain off grease.
• Put ground beef mixture into large stockpot. Add remainder of ingredients and bring to a boil. Use thyme to your personal taste. I probably use about 1/2-1 teaspoon. You may also use Italian seasoning mix instead of just oregano and omit the thyme.
• After sauce reaches boiling, turn down to simmer for 2-2 1/2 hours, and cook until sauce is thickened. Add more water during this cooking time if necessary.
• This sauce is not really good if you use wine instead of water. Also, use whole canned tomatoes instead of diced tomatoes, because they break down better in the sauce and make it thicker. Just keep mashing them with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
