How to Make All Day Spaghetti Sauce
- Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
- Transfer the browned beef to a large (6-quart or larger) stockpot.
- Add 2 (28-ounce) cans crushed tomatoes, 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce, 6 tablespoons tomato paste, 2 teaspoons dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over low heat. Reduce heat to the lowest setting, partially cover the pot (leaving a small opening to vent steam), and let simmer for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- After 1 hour, taste the sauce and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs to your preference.
- Continue to simmer for another 2-4 hours, or longer, for a thicker, richer sauce. The longer it simmers, the more intense the flavor will become.
- Once the desired consistency and flavor are reached, remove from heat and let cool slightly before transferring to freezer-safe bags or containers.
- (Optional) For a vegetarian version, omit the beef.
