This is a delicious sauce that makes lots. It was published in a recipe booklet by Creamettes in the 1980s. I never put mushrooms in anything (can't stand them!) but the original recipe calls for them, so I included them in the list of ingredients. Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs ground beef |
1 1/2 lbs bulk sausage |
6 ounces pepperoni (diced) |
2 large onions (chopped) |
1 medium green pepper (chopped) |
3 garlic cloves (minced) |
84 ounces tomatoes, canned (cut up, undrained) |
18 ounces tomato paste |
16 ounces tomato sauce |
1 cup water |
8 ounces fresh mushrooms (sliced) |
1 cup pimento-stuffed green olives, sliced |
1 cup pitted ripe olives (sliced) |
3 medium carrots (finely chopped) |
2 teaspoons italian seasoning |
2 teaspoons oregano |
4 bay leaves |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional) |
Directions:
1. In large Dutch oven or stockpot, combine ground beef, sausage, pepperoni, onions, green pepper and garlic. Cook until sausage is no longer pink; drain. Stir in remaining ingredients. Bring to boil. Reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, until desired consistency, 4 to 8 hours, stirring occasionally. Sauce may be prepared in advance and refrigerated for 1 to 2 days.
2. About 4 quarts sauce (18 to 24 servings).
3. Prepare 1 pound batches of spaghetti according to directions; drain. Add olive oil; toss to coat. Serve meat sauce over hot spaghetti. Garnish as desired. Serve with Parmesan cheese.

5. NOTES : Sauce may be frozen in serving size batches until ready to reheat.
6. Creamettes also says if you have cooked too much pasta, it can be refrigerated up to 3 days in a covered container. Reheat in a microwave or drop pasta in boiling water until hot - about one minute. Stir gently to separate. . .
7. OR FREEZE. Place cooled, oiled pasta in a plastic freeze bag, seal, and freeze for up to 3 weeks. To reheat, remove pasta from bag and add to boiling water; stir gently to separate. Return to boil. Reheat until hot - about 2 minutes.
