Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
6 cans of Crushed Tomatoes (either regular or with basil, oregano and garlic) 28 oz. sized cans
OR can be (2) Cans Crushed tomatoes and (2) cans Dice Tomatoes
1 large onion, finely chopped
4 cloves of garlic
A bunch of dried basil (probably 3-5 Tbsp)
A bunch of Oregano (probably 3-5 Tbsp)
A bunch of black pepper ( probably 1 - 2 tsp)
1 TBSP of Sugar (optional)
2 TSBP olive oil
1/3 cup of grated Parmesan or Romano Cheese
Minced Green Peppers (optional)
Directions:
Directions:
Heat the olive oil in a 5+ qt. pot over medium heat, and add the onion.
Saute for 10 minutes or so, stirring often and being careful not to burn it.
Add the chopped or pressed garlic.
Heat for another one to two minutes, making sure not to burn the garlic, then add all the tomatoes,
black pepper, basil and sugar. Stirring often, bring to a low boil.
Add whatever meat you care to to make meat sauce
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2-3 hours stirring often.
For the first half of the simmer time, do so with the pot uncovered, then cover.
Add the cheese, stir in and simmer for an additional 5 minutes or so.

This will make the equivalent to 4-5 jars of sauce, and the cost is probably about half
(and it tastes way better).
