Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground Beef optional
  • 1/2 Onion minced (optional - because I know my daughter wont add this)
  • 2 Medium Carrots minced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 28 oz Cans Crushed Tomatoes
  • 1 15 oz Can Tomato Sauce
  • 1 4 oz Can Tomato Paste
  • 1 Tbsp Dried Italian Seasoning
  • 2 Tbsp Brown Sugar optional - taste before adding
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet or saucepan, brown burger, onion and garlic together until cooked through - drain if necessary.
  2. Dump in remaining ingredients except brown sugar and bring to simmer - simmer for at least 1 hour if possible and adjust seasonings to your taste. If the sauce is too acidic, add in the brown sugar. If you leave out the carrots, the brown sugar is most likely necessary. Adjust spices to your taste, like more Italian Seasoning, some less.
  3. This freezes very well, and if you leave out the meat it's a great vegetarian option.
