How to Make Spaghetti Lasagna Sauce

  1. Blend 28 ounces of stewed tomatoes and 28 ounces of crushed tomatoes in a blender until smooth.
  2. In a large stock pot or Dutch oven, brown 1 pound of ground beef over medium-high heat. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced) and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Pour in the blended tomatoes and reduce heat to low. Stir well to combine.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons of dried basil, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Simmer uncovered for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Check the consistency of the sauce. If it's too thin, stir in 2-4 tablespoons of no-salt-added tomato paste or a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water) until desired thickness is reached.
  6. Season with salt substitute and freshly ground black pepper to taste before serving. Enjoy!
