How to Make Amy S Homemade All Day Spaghetti Sauce
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced carrot. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in oregano, basil, garlic powder, parsley flakes, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 1 minute more.
- Pour in the Merlot wine and simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off.
- Add crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, sugar, and bay leaves. Stir well to combine.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 5 hours, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavor will be!
- Remove bay leaves before serving.
- Serve your delicious homemade spaghetti sauce over your favorite cooked spaghetti noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley or Parmesan cheese (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
