Hearty Meat Sauce

Use meat sauce for spaghetti sauce, sloppy joes, or stuffed bell peppers.

Ingredients

    • 3 medium onions, chopped
    • 3 lbs (1.4 kg) 90% lean ground beef
    • 3 garlic cloves, pressed
    • 3 cans (28 oz each or 796 mL) diced tomatoes, undrained
    • 3 cans (8 oz or 156 mL each) tomato sauce
    • 1 1/2 tbsp (22 mL) sugar

Directions

  1. Heat All-Purpose Pot over medium-high heat. Add onions, beef and pressed garlic. Cook 15-18 min or until beef is no longer pink, breaking into crumbles. Drain.
  2. Add tomatoes, tomato sauce and sugar. Bring to a boil, uncovered, over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 40-45 minutes or until sauce thickens, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; cool slightly.
  3. Place about 5 cups (1.25 L) sauce in separate freezer containers. Refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months.
