How to Make Tasty Meat Sauce For Lasagna
- Remove sausage from casings.
- In a large pot, brown 1 lb Italian sausage and 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
- Remove the cooked meat from the pot and set aside.
- Add 1 large chopped carrot, 1 large chopped onion, and 4 cloves minced garlic to the pot.
- Cook until the vegetables are soft and the onion is translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Return the cooked meat to the pot and stir to combine.
- Add 1/2 cup dry red wine (optional) and cook until the liquid has almost evaporated, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in 2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low.
- Simmer uncovered for at least 3 hours, or up to 5 hours for a richer flavor. Stir occasionally.
- If the sauce becomes too thick, thin it with 1/4 - 1/2 cup of beef broth as needed.
