This robust home-style pasta sauce from Candi Johnsen of West Plains, Missouri tastes just as good after it's been frozen.
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1 pound johnsonville® mild italian sausage links links, cut into 3/4-inch slices
1 large onion, chopped
2 cans (15 ounces each) tomato sauce
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) stewed tomatoes
1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
3/4 cup water
1 can (4 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, drained
1/2 cup sliced pimiento-stuffed olives, optional
2 teaspoons italian seasoning
1-1/2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon celery salt
1 bay leaf
hot cooked spaghetti
Directions:
1. In a Dutch oven, cook the beef, sausage and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the tomato sauce, tomatoes, tomato paste, water, mushrooms, olives if desired and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 45-60 minutes or until sauce reaches desired thickness.
2. Discard bay leaf. Serve over spaghetti; or cool, cover and freeze for up to 2 months. Yield: 9 servings.
