Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast, brisket, and short ribs are all good options for slow-cooked beef spaghetti sauce. These cuts are tough, but they become tender when cooked slowly in liquid.
  • Brown the beef before cooking it in the sauce. This will help to develop its flavor.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your sauce. Onions, carrots, celery, and garlic are all classic choices, but you can also add other vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
  • Use a good quality canned tomato sauce. You can also make your own tomato sauce from scratch, but using a canned sauce is a great way to save time.
  • Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices until the sauce is flavorful.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 2 hours. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the sauce over spaghetti or other pasta. You can also use it as a topping for pizza or lasagna.
