Souza's spaghetti sauce
12 servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | pounds | Lean ground beef |
| 3 | tablespoons | Olive oil |
| 1 | cup | Onions chopped |
| 2 | Cloves garlic minced | |
| 2 | cans | Tomato paste plus 2 cans water |
| 2 | teaspoons | Dried oregano |
| 2 | teaspoons | Dried basil |
| 1 | Bay leaf | |
| 1 | teaspoon | Salt |
| 2 | tablespoons | Worcestershire sauce |
| ½ | teaspoon | Fresh ground black pepper |
Directions
Brown the ground beef and drain. Saut the onions in olive oil and add minced garlic shortly before the onions are tender. Add the onions and beef to a large pot and add remaining ingredients. Cook on very low heat for 4 hours skimming off any extra grease from the beef and adjusting seasoning.
Note: My father would often freeze this basic sauce and add fresh mushrooms when he planned to serve it.
