Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 medium Onion white or yellow, diced
- 1 Tablespoon Garlic minced (about 3 large cloves)
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- 1 pound Hot Italian Sausage removed from casing and ground
- ½ cup Water
- 2 28-oz cans Crushed Tomatoes San Marzano Tomatoes if possible
- 2 Tablespoons Sugar
- 1 ½ Tablespoons Salt
- ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 Tablespoons Italian Seasoning
- 1 Parmesan Rind optional
Instructions
- In a large dutch oven over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once shimmering, add the diced onion and stir to coat. Reduce heat to medium low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions turn a deep, rich, golden hue.
- Once the onions are caramelized, add the garlic and saute for about 2 minutes, until translucent.
- Add the ground beef and sausage, using a spoon to break the meat into small pieces. Add ½ cup of water and cook until there is no more pink, or about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the meat is cooked, add the crushed tomatoes, sugar, salt, Italian seasoning, black pepper and parmesan rind. Cook at a slow simmer for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the meat sauce from the heat and let cool slightly before removing the Parmesan rind. Use immediately, or let cool and store in jars or an airtight container. Enjoy!
