1/2Onionminced (optional - because I know my daughter wont add this)
2Medium Carrotsminced
3garlic clovesminced
2 28ozCans Crushed Tomatoes
1 15ozCan Tomato Sauce
1 4ozCan Tomato Paste
1TbspDried Italian Seasoning
2TbspBrown Sugaroptional - taste before adding

Instructions
In a large skillet or saucepan, brown burger, onion and garlic together until cooked through - drain if necessary.
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.
This freezes very well, and if you leave out the meat it's a great vegetarian option.
