How to Make Bigfatmomma S Slow Cooked Meat Sauce

1. Brown the ground beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute more.
4. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Add oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and sugar.
5. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours for a richer flavor. The longer it simmers, the better it tastes!
6. Stir occasionally and taste for seasoning. Adjust salt and pepper as needed.
7. Serve over your favorite pasta, use as a pizza topping, or enjoy with crusty bread.
