How to Make Meat Market Spaghetti Sauce

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 1 large onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 28 oz crushed tomatoes, 15 oz tomato sauce, 6 oz tomato paste, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp dried basil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  4. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 1.5 hours, or up to 3 hours for a richer flavor. Stir occasionally.
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat or a tablespoon of sugar to balance acidity.
  6. Serve over your favorite pasta, use as a lasagna base, or add to your chili recipe for an extra depth of flavor. Freezes beautifully for future use!
