Kitchen Essentials
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground Beef or Italian Sausage
- 1 Small Onion Diced
- 2 cloves Garlic Minced
- 15 ounces Tomato Sauce Or cooked down tomatoes
- 6 Ounces Tomato Paste
- 2 Teaspoons Italian Seasoning
- 1 Teaspoon Dried Parsley Flakes
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Granulated Sugar
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Pinch Red Pepper Flakes to taste
- 1 Cup Water
- 1/4 Cup Fresh Basil Leaves
- 8 Ounces Tomatoes Diced, optional
Instructions
- Brown meat, onion, garlic, and seasoning over medium-high heat making sure to break up the meat very well. (Drain any fat if necessary).
- Once the meat is cooked through, Add tomato sauce, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, parsley, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, salt and pepper to the skillet.
- Add water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Add basil the last 5 minutes of cooking, if desired. (You can use dried basil. Just reduce the amount to a tablespoon if using dried. Additionally, if using dried, add it when adding the other spices).
- Sometimes, I like to add the 8 ounces of tomatoes the last few minutes. It gives just that extra tomato-fresh taste to the sauce.
