MIMI'S FANTASTIC THICK SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Mimi's Fantastic Thick Spaghetti Sauce image

A few years ago I came upon a sauce that was so good but........... I altered it quite a bit to fit our family. This is now the best sauce I have ever had and if you follow the measurements, it will come out the same every single time. I use Tuttoroso brand in the puree, paste, and sauce because that is the one my friend's mother always used. She was from Italy and made the best sauce in the world. Hubby loves it and comments on it whenever we have it which is once a week. It freezes well and is great with meatballs even thought there is a lot of meat in the sauce. Serve it with garlic bread and you will be sooooo happy.

Time 2h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb italian sweet sausage
1 lb hamburger (I use chuck (80% I think it is)
2 fresh garlic cloves (minced)
1/2 medium onion (chopped)
2 (28 ounce) cans tomato puree (see note above on the brand I use)
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
2 1/2 cups water
3 1/2 teaspoons basil
2 1/2 teaspoons parsley
2 teaspoons brown sugar (could use white if you want to)
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a heavy pot, brown sausage and hamburg, breaking it up into smaller pieces.
  • Add chopped onions and minced garlic and cook till meat is done; add tomato paste and stir until it is mixed in well.
  • Add tomato puree, sauce, and water (when measuring the water, put it into the puree can to rinse it all out and then add to meat mixture).
  • Add basil, brown sugar, salt, parsley, and black pepper and mix well.
  • Add the Parmesan cheese (yes, to the the sauce) and mix it in well.
  • Simmer on low for 2-4 hours stirring occasionally so it won't burn; if you think it needs some thinning down, add about 1/8 cup water at a time; don't add too much because you want it thick so it will stick to your pasta.
  • Cook your spaghetti and enjoy! Eat what you want and freeze the rest in containers that will hold the amount you will eat at a sitting.

GRAMMA'S SPAGHETTI SAUCE (CHEATER "FROM SCRATCH")



Gramma's Spaghetti Sauce (Cheater

This is my mother's recipe for spaghetti sauce and is wonderful! It is a chunky, meaty sauce. We usually make this in two 5 quart pots and freeze them in 2-3 cup portions, great for OAMC. It uses jars of spaghetti sauce for ease and flavor, you could also purchase a warehouse sized can of spaghetti sauce and flavor to taste to cut costs. Also add more vegetables as desired and if the mixture is too thick add another jar or a can of sauce.

CHEATER'S THICK SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Cheater's Thick Spaghetti Sauce image

This recipe came about after 6 years of making my family suffer through a thin, watery, homemade Weight Watcher's spaghetti meat sauce; hence, the words "cheater" and "thick" in the recipe title. Maybe my husband and son just don't have much to compare it against, but they really enjoyed this sauce. It made me actually enjoy the whole wheat pasta that I usually just endure! This recipe appears to be high in fat, but you will drain off the oil after browning the ground beef, if that's any consolation. I didn't add salt because there's usually enough sodium in the bottled sauce to preserve a small side of beef.

Categories     Sauces

Time 1h

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 tablespoons canola oil
3 tablespoons dried onion flakes
2 1/2 lbs ground beef
1/3 cup frozen chopped bell pepper
2 (25 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
12 ounces water (I just fill each of the empty tomato paste cans with hot water)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large, deep pot until hot but not smoking.
  • Lower heat to medium-low and add dried onion. Fry onion, stirring occasionally, until it softens and turns a light brown color, about 4-5 minutes. Watch it carefully, and monitor the heat. If the onion is jumping excitedly, your pan is too hot. You want the onion to lie on the bottom of the pan and twitch nervously.
  • Add ground beef and brown it until there's no more pink. Don't stir the beef too much as it browns. You can get big chunky pieces of meat if you let it brown on one side, then flip it over and break it up just a little with a wooden spoon.
  • Drain ground beef of excess fat. Don't be too thorough about this, because you need about a teaspoon of fat in which to fry the bell pepper.
  • Over medium-low heat, fry the bell pepper for about a minute in the teaspoon of fat that you left in the pot.
  • Add ground beef back to the pot.
  • Dump in both jars of spaghetti sauce, both cans of tomato paste, and the water. Mix thoroughly.
  • Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Serve over pasta.

THICK & MEATY SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Thick & Meaty Spaghetti Sauce image

As everyone knows by now, most of my recipes come from a "Taste of Home" recipe magazine. This is by far our favorite spaghetti sauce. It is so thick and meaty that sometimes my boys just pour it over a piece of garlic bread and eat it like that!

RANDY'S THICK SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Randy's Thick Spaghetti Sauce image

This is by and far the best sauce I have ever eaten. My husband finally gave me his recipe and allowed me to take over the task of making it. The longer you simmer this, the more the flavors will blend. It is a nice chunky sauce. Don't cut back on the salt amount...it really is 5 tsps. If you like your green peppers and onion with a little crunch, no need to cook until they are soft. I usually make the sauce around lunch time and keep in the crockpot until supper time.
