How to Make Spaghetti Bolognese Sauce Beef And Italian Sausage
- Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season generously with salt and pepper. Drain off excess grease and set aside.
- Cut 1 lb Italian sausage into 1-inch pieces. Brown the sausage in the same pot, draining off excess grease, and set aside.
- Sauté 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 medium chopped onion, and 1 chopped bell pepper in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat until onions are translucent (about 5 minutes).
- Add the browned beef and sausage to the pot. (If using for lasagna, remove sausage casings before browning with the beef.)
- Stir in 28 oz crushed tomatoes, 6 oz tomato paste, 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 8 oz cremini mushrooms (sliced; omit if using for lasagna), 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/2 cup dry red wine.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the better the flavor!
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth.
- When ready to serve, stir the cornstarch mixture into the sauce. Add 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce has thickened.
- Serve the Bolognese sauce over your favorite pasta or use as a meat filling for lasagna.
