How to Make 70's Hunt's Spaghetti Sauce With Meat

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 4 cloves minced garlic and 1 medium chopped onion to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons tomato paste, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional).
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavor!
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve over your favorite pasta or use as a base for lasagna.
