1 lb ground beef
4 slices bacon, chopped*
1 c Portuguese sausage, diced
16 oz tomato sauce
1 can (4 oz) mushroom pieces, drained
2 c catsup
1/2 c chopped celery
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp dried oregano leaves
1 1/2 tsp garlic salt
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
a dash of chili powder
Brown all meats. Drain fat. Add rest of ingredients and simmer for 45 minutes. Makes enough sauce for 1 lb of pasta.
*You may also used 4 tbsp of pre-cooked bacon bits. If you do this, give it a few good pulses in the food processor to break up large chunks.
