Italian Spaghetti Sauce With Meatballs, Sausage and Stew Beef image

My mother-in-law has a life-long friend named Rosie, a dear Italian woman, who shared with us her family recipe for a hearty spaghetti sauce. I usually omit the ribs, as I'm not that much of a carnivore! Oftentimes I just make the meatballs with the sauce. No need to fry or bake the meatballs, add just add carefully to the hot sauce, then simmer.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the stew will be. Look for fresh, flavorful vegetables, high-quality beef and sausage, and a good-quality red wine.
Brown the beef and sausage well. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the stew from becoming greasy.
Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the stew. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and mushrooms.
Use a good-quality red wine. The wine will add depth of flavor to the stew. Choose a wine that you would enjoy drinking on its own.
Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour. This will help to tenderize the beef and vegetables and allow the flavors to meld together.
Season the stew to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a touch of sweetness with a bit of honey or brown sugar.
Serve the stew with a side of crusty bread or rice. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
