Total Time: 35 minutes
Yield: 4 -6 Servings
This meat sauce is simple to make with broken down instructions. Perfect over pasta or even over veggies!

Ingredients
 

  • 1 lb ground beef, 90/10 fat ratio
  • ½ lb Italian sausage, hot if you want the heat!
  • ½ yellow onion, diced
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 15 oz can tomato sauce
  • 1 15 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 1 6 oz can tomato paste
  • 2 tsp dried Italian herbs
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet or medium sized pot, brown the ground beef and Italian sausage over medium-high heat until completely cooked. Drain off most of the fat but leave the meat in the skillet.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the onions to the skillet. Let cook for 3-5 minutes or until onions have started to soften.
  • Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the garlic becomes fragrant.
  • Reduce heat to low and add all remaining ingredients to the skillet. Cover leaving a crack for steam to escape. Cook for at least 15 minutes, up to 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
