Ingredients
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 1 lb ground beef
- ½ medium green bell pepper (optional)
- ½ medium onion (optional)
- 1 ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 ¼ tsp oregano
- 2 ¼ tsp basil
- 28 oz diced tomatoes (canned)
- 15 oz tomato sauce (canned)
- 6 oz tomato paste (canned)
Instructions:
- Dice the green pepper and onion.
- In a large skillet, combine the sausage, ground beef, green pepper, onion, and seasonings and brown the meat.
- When the meat is browned, add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato paste.
- Allow to simmer on low, covered, for at least 1 hour. Stir occasionally to keep from scorching. If the sauce seems to be too thick, you can add a little water.
- Remove the lid and allow to simmer for another hour, or until the desired thickness is achieved.
Notes:
Make Ahead: This is better the longer it sits, so you can either make it early in the day and allow it to simmer for a few hours or you could make it the day before and just reheat it.
