How to Make Spaghetti Sauce Mcbirney Style
- Chop all vegetables: 1 large onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 2 carrots (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
- Brown the meats: In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef, 1/2 lb Polish sausage (sliced), and 4 oz thinly sliced ham over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- Combine in a large pot: Transfer the browned meats to a large pot or Dutch oven. Add the chopped vegetables.
- Simmer with flavor: Pour in 1 cup dry red wine (such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato paste.
- Bring to a boil: Stir well to combine all ingredients. Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce and simmer: Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 45 minutes, or longer for a richer flavor. Stir occasionally.
- Adjust consistency: If the sauce is too thin, whisk in 1-2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until thickened. If too thick, add a splash of water or more wine.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve your delicious spaghetti sauce over your favorite pasta. Garnish with fresh parsley or grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
- Freezing for later: This recipe makes a large batch, perfect for freezing! Portion into freezer-safe containers or zip-top bags for easy meal prep.
- Defrosting instructions: To defrost, place the sauce in a microwave-safe bowl and defrost using the defrost setting. Alternatively, thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
