Ingredients:
1/2 lb - 1 lb Italian Sausage
1-2 lbs. lean ground beef
2 small onions, chopped
2-3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tsp. Italian herb seasoning
2 - 29 ounce cans tomato sauce
2 - 6 ounce tomato paste
2 - 14.5 ounce cans Italian-style diced tomatoes
1/2 tsp. dried thyme leaves
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. dried oregano
2 tsp. sugar
Directions:
Brown sausage and ground beef in a large pot over medium heat. Once browned, drain off the grease. Add onions and garlic and continue cooking a few minutes until onions are translucent. Add seasonings and tomatoes and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes until hot.
To Freeze:
Chill the sauce in the refrigerator until cool. Label freezer bags and then distribute the sauce into the freezer bags. A quart size freezer bags will give 4 adult size servings. To reheat you can either thaw the bags over night in the fridge and then heat in a crockpot (low 8 hours or high 4-6 hours) or stove top, or you can thaw bags in warm water until mostly thawed and then heat over a stove top or in crockpot.
