Mamma Mia Meat Sauce image

My mother clipped this recipe out of USA Weekend back in 1993 - it was always the sauce she made while I was growing up (it's a recipe by Kathie Lee Gifford). Now that I cook myself, I've taken the recipe and adapted it to a few of my own 'likes' and now use this as my sauce for pasta, lasagna and ravioli! Can't be beat! (this recipe freezes very well!)

Time 2h45m

Yield 6 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs ground beef
4 (28 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 (18 ounce) can tomato paste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup dried parsley (yes, 1 cup!)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons crushed garlic
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese, grated
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1/2 tablespoon sugar (if needed)

Steps:

  • In large saucepan or Dutch oven (at least 6 quarts), brown ground beef until no longer pink; drain.
  • Add remaining ingredients and bring to boil.
  • Reduce heat; simmer for 2-3 hours (the longer the better for my own tastes), stirring occasionally.
  • If sauce tastes a little on the acidic side (from tomato sauce/paste), add the sugar.
  • Serve over pasta!
