Meat Sauce {Recipe}
I've dying to give it a go at making my own spaghetti sauce, did a little research and found this recipe which sounds fantastic, and got some pretty rave reviews. I doubt I'll ever follow the recipe exactly and include all the meats they recommend throwing in it, but it sounds like a great starter meat sauce! So tired of buying canned sauces!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound sweet Italian sausage, sliced
- 1 pound round steak, cubed
- 1 pound veal, cubed
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 (28 ounce) cans whole peeled tomatoes, crushed
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce
Directions
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the sausage, round steak, and veal 10 minutes, until evenly browned. Remove meat from skillet and drain, reserving about 1 tablespoon drippings.
- Stir the garlic into the skillet with the reserved meat drippings, and cook about 3 minutes over medium heat. Place the crushed tomatoes into the skillet. Season with Italian seasoning, bay leaf, garlic powder, oregano, pepper, and parsley. Cook 15 minutes.
- Mix the tomato sauce into the skillet, and continue cooking 15 minutes.
- Return the meat to the skillet. Reduce heat to low, and simmer 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Can't wait to try it out! Going to try and make it tonight. I don't have everything on hand (garlic cloves, bay leaf, etc.) but I'll try and make due with what I've got! Frugality here I come!
Any of you have a great meat sauce recipe you think I should try??
