adapted from Noble Pig
2 (28 oz) cans Muir Glen Organic Whole Tomatoes
1 (15 oz) can Muir Glen Organic Pizza Sauce
1 (6 oz) can Muir Glen Organic Tomato Sauce
2 Tbsp dried basil
2 Tbsp granulated sugar
1 Tbsp pizza seasoning (I substituted oregano.)
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
1 Tbsp dried parsley leaves (I substituted fresh parsley.)
1 Tbsp finely minced garlic
1 1/2 lbs ground beef, 80/20 mixture
In a large heavy duty pan, add all ingredients except for the ground beef. Bring to a slight boil and turn down the heat. Cover and simmer on low for two hours, stirring occasionally, using a wooden spoon to break up the whole tomatoes as they cook down.
Right before the sauce is done, cook ground beef until done and meat is browned well. Do not forget to season the meat well with salt and pepper. When meat is done, drain the fat and add it to the sauce.
Serve over your favorite pasta.
As I transcribed the recipe I realized that I had proportions wrong....I didn't use 28 oz cans of whole tomatoes! I grabbed the 15 oz size....oh well, it was still absolutely delicious!!
