How to Make Linda's Meaty Spaghetti Sauce
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add 1 large onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1 green bell pepper and 1 red bell pepper, chopped, and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Add 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and a dash of Tabasco sauce (adjust to taste).
- (Optional) Add 1 cup of good red wine.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Add 1/2 cup of water at a time if the sauce becomes too thick.
- The longer you cook it (up to 4 hours), the richer the flavor will be. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve over your favorite spaghetti and garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
