Directions:
Combine ground beef, Italian sausage, onions, mushrooms and garlic and brown. Do not drain. Once cooked down thoroughly, add tomato paste one can at a time and stir well until dissolved. Add tomato purée and sauce. Fill all the empty paste, purée and sauce cans with water and add to pot. Stir well. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Simmer, stirring often, all day if possible, the longer the better. Serve over your pasta of choice. Our favorites are rotini or thin spaghetti.

Definitely my family’s comfort food. Authentic Italian meat sauce handed down through generations. Be sure to use a large stock pot, this recipe will make 3+ gallons of sauce. Perfect for a large group. Freezes well. There is always a stockpile our freezer. Also perfect for lasagna or manicotti.
