My husband learned this from a sweet Italian Grandma from Palermo while they were on a train together in Germany. She had married a German soldier during the war, and now that he had passed she was bringing him to his family for the first time since he had left as a young soldier. Note: Cooking time only includes prep time as simmering varies according to method. Ingredients:
64 ounces tomato sauce, plain or pre-seasoned |
4 teaspoons oregano |
1 tablespoon minced garlic or 6 garlic cloves |
1 lb italian sausage, browned |
1 lb ground beef, browned |
1 cup red wine |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Brown your meat and drain off the excess fat. Add all the ingredients together. My hubby likes to put this all in the crock pot and slowcook it for about 6 hours. You could also simmer it stovetop for maybe an hour or so if you're in a hurry. Delicious. We serve this with tortellini or spaghetti and our pickiest kids can't get enough. They also request bread to sop up the extra.
2. Note: Of course you can used canned tomatoes, diced tomatoes, tomato puree or even fresh. Just cook longer and add a pinch of sugar.
