Found a great spaghetti sauce recipe

[davidtaylorjr]

1# Ground Beef; 1# Ground Pork; 1 chopped onion; 2 28-oz cans diced tomatoes w/juice; 2 6-oz cans tomato paste; 2 8-oz cans tomato sauce; 2 bay leaves; 5 garlic cloves chopped; 4 t dried oregano; 1-1/2 t salt; 4 t dried basil, 3 T brown sugar; 1 t dried thyme.

Brown meat and onion and drain. Recipe calls for doing in the crock pot 8-10 hours. I made it on the stove instead, cooked for about 2 hours. Ate the next day (always better that way).

I find ground meat gets cooked to DEATH in a crockpot. That's why I cooked it on the stove top.

(I actually bought 2# of meatloaf mix instead of the 1# each.)

This is a GREAT sauce. (Makes enough for 12 generous servings.) I split it in half and used each half with 1# of spaghetti.

Sounds great!

It is Simplicity itself. I make pretty much the same stuff just without the accurate measurements. It's more like 'bit a this, 'bit of that. My BBQ pizza sauce is to die for.

I never use ground beef for italian sauces, only italian sausage.
