I can't believe I'm actually sharing this little secret recipe with you...But I love food and I love you too much to withhold. Be adventurous and experiment with spices and flavors. This is just a base (and not exact measures)....so feel as adventurous as you want! I've made some suggestions on what you could add or substitute to make this recipe your own! The best spaghetti sauce is always a labor of taste and adjust, taste and adjust.
2-3 sweet onions chopped
2-3 lbs ground beef (we always add pork sausage as well)
4-5 cloves of garlic minced
60oz of canned Crushed tomato and diced tomato combined
60oz of canned tomato sauce
12oz can of tomato paste
add water for consistency
handful of brown sugar
a couple teaspoons of sea salt
freshly ground pepper
1-2 bay leaves
chopped fresh herbs - basil, Italian parsley, oregano, rosemary, or whatever else you love.
1. Brown meat in fry pan.
2. Start cooking onions and garlic in large pot with olive oil.
3. Add browned meat, all tomato cans, water, and spices.
4. Simmer for 1-2 hours (my grandpa used to let it sit on the stove all day....the longer the flavors marinate together, the better the sauce becomes!)
Enjoy!
