Tini S Homemade Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

3 pounds Ground Beef (grass-fed is best, but not necessary)

1 Onion (I prefer Vidalias, but any large onion will work) - chopped

3 cloves Garlic - minced

2 cans Whole Peeled Tomatoes (I prefer organic) - 28-32 ounce cans

2 cans Tomato Sauce (I prefer organic) - 15 ounce cans

2 cans Tomato Paste (I prefer organic) - 6 ounce cans

2 tablespoons Oregano

2 tablespoons Basil

1 teaspoon Thyme

1/2 teaspoon Salt and Pepper (to taste)

2 tablespoons Butter

1 tablespoon Sugar (to taste, i err on the side of a bit more) – Can substitute Stevia or Agave

Brown Ground Beef

Chop Onion and Garlic

Sautee Onion and Garlic with butter

In a large cooking pot combine all tomatoes and spices.

Drain Ground Beef and add to tomato mixture.

Add Onion and Garlic to Tomato Mixture

Cook on low heat for 2-3 hours (a little longer is better). Stir every 15ish minutes so that the bottom doesn’t burn.

This can be made ahead and frozen. I freeze individual portions in a Ziplock bag (one large laden full for each portion).
