Meat Sauce Ingredients

Method

Meat Sauce Preparation

1

Heat the Oil

In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

2

Cook the Meat

Add the ground beef and Italian sausage to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

3

Add Vegetables

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

4

Incorporate Tomato Products

Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes and tomato paste. Mix well to combine.

5

Season the Sauce

Add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and sugar to the sauce. Stir to incorporate all the spices.

6

Add Wine (Optional)

If using, pour in the red wine and stir to combine.

7

Simmer the Sauce

Bring the sauce to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook uncovered for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

8

Taste and Adjust

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or sugar if desired.
