MAMMA'S HOMEMADE SPAGHETTI SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. In skillet, cook Italian or wild game sausage (ground beef if you choose) and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain (unless using wild game sausage where there will not be any meaningful liquid to drain)
• 2. Transfer to slow cooker (crockpot)
• 3. add the remaining ingredients and stir well to mix. Cover with bay leaves on top.
• 4. cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours. Take lid off slow cooker for the last hour to allow liquid to cook off...
• 5. discard bay leaves and serve over spaghetti/pasta...do not rinse the pasta as you will loose the starch (rinsing of pasta is not recommended)
• 6. We now sprinkle parm cheese on the plate before the pasta as a nice touch and to mop up any liquid separation from the sauce (although there will be none)...and of course parm cheese on top. Enjoy!

MAMA'S SPAGHETTI SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven, melt the butter with the olive oil, add the garlic and onion, and saute until onion is soft/translucent.
• Add the ground sirloin and Italian sausage and cook until no longer pink.
• Stir in the remaining ingredients, adding the bay leaves last so as not to break them up during stirring. Adjust the seasonings as needed to suit your taste.
• Bring the sauce to a boil, then turn heat down to the lowest possible heat and let simmer for 2 hours covered with an offset lid.
• Serve with cooked spaghetti and parmesan cheese.

MY MAMA IULIUCCI'S "DON'T SKIP A STEP" SPAGHETTI SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine tomato products in large stock pot or dutch oven.
• Add a 28 ounce can of water and stir.
• Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer.
• Sprinkle with sugar, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, parsley and grated cheese and stir to combine.
• In a frying pan, heat about 1/4" of vegetable oil and fry up your sausage or meatballs until cooked through.
• Add the meat to the simmering sauce, along with any optional meats (recommended) mentioned in ingredients.
• Now, this is an important, not to be left out, step: Add chopped onions and garlic to pan that meat was fried in.
• Do not drain anything before adding onions and garlic-- there should be some drippings/oil left in the pan!
• Fry onions and garlic until tender and aromatic.
• Remove pan from heat.
• Another important step, not to be left out: Add about 1/2 cup water to the pan and swish around, combining the leftover drippings and onion and garlic.
• Pour and scrape it all into the simmering sauce.
• Stir to combine.
• Let simmer for 3 hours or until desired consistency, stirring occasionally.
• I keep mine only half way covered, so it cooks down and gets thick and rich.
• Remove pepperoni, chicken and ribs if used.
• Remove meat from bones of chicken and ribs and add back to sauce in small shreds.
• Discard pepperoni, eat it, or chop it up and add it back to sauce.
• Serve over your favorite pasta and enjoy.
