This is my all time favorite spaghetti sauce recipe. My son loves it and always tells me that I need to make it more often. I enjoy playing Michael Buble and having a glass of wine while I am making it. It also makes the kids clear out of the kitchen while I am preforming an impromptu duet. This recipe was given to me by my mother after I moved in with my husband. She had gotten it from a family friend and believe it or not he is Acadien and not Italian!
1 can tomatoes (crushed) 1 Bay Leaf
1 can tomato paste 1/4 tsp pepper
2 1/2 cups water 2 tsp chili powder
1 lb ground hamburger or sausage 1 tsp oregano
4 cloves of garlic (crushed) 1/4 tsp thyme
1 large onion diced 1/4 tsp rosemary
1/2 cup celery diced *when using rosemary
1 cup canned mushrooms I use a mortar & pestle
1 1/2 tsp sugar to grind to a powder*
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp marjoram
1/4 tsp ground cloves
Brown the meat with onions, garlic, celery. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for 3 to 4 hours covered and then for 1 hour uncovered. The longer it simmers the better it is.
This is absolutely DELICIOUS the next day after the sauce has sat overnight.
