INSTRUCTIONS:
INGREDIENTS:
- 1.5 lbs extra lean ground beef 2 lbs if not using hot italian sausage
- 1 lb Hot Italian Sausage casings removed
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 large onion diced
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup white wine beef broth works too
- 1 28oz can crushed tomatoes
- 1/2 can tomato paste 4 oz can
- 1 jar marinara sauce I like Safeway O Organics
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 - 1 tsp tsp crushed red pepper start small and increase the heat by taste
- 2 tbsp dried parsley
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
INSTRUCTIONS:
- In a large pot, over medium heat, cook up your beef and hot italian sausage. When the meat is cooked, drain the meat and set aside (I leave it sitting in a colander over the sink).
- Heat up the olive oil and add the onion and green pepper. Saute until the onion is soft (about 4-5 minutes) and then add the garlic. Give it a good stir for another minute or two (until fragrant).
- Add the wine (doesn't matter what kind I have used Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and even Moscato) and reduce for about two minutes.
- Next up is the crushed tomatoes, paste, jar of marinara, oregano, thyme, sugar, bay leaves, crushed pepper flakes, and salt. I usually stir this together and let simmer a few minutes.
- Add the meat. Stir and put a lid on.
- Let this simmer on low - medium/low for at least an hour. If you can get away for longer, do it.
- After your hour is up, add the parmesan cheese and parsley. Stir and simmer for another thirty minutes.
- Serve with desired pasta (or spaghetti squash) and top with more parmesan cheese.
