Simple, delicious, sweet like my mother's recipe from long ago, a great spaghetti sauce that I make for company and other special occasions, like my son's birthday. It's from a junior league cookbook, Creme de Colorado . One of my favorite things about cooking is dumping several ingredients in a pot and having it turn out delicious. This recipe is like that. Ingredients:
1/2 cup onion |
2 cloves garlic, minced |
1/4 cup butter |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 1/2 lbs ground beef (or a mixture of beef, pork, and veal) |
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped |
1/2 lb mushroom, chopped |
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste |
1 (28 ounce) can italian stewed tomatoes |
1 1/2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce |
1 1/2 teaspoons angostura bitters |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1/2 cup dry red wine |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
1/2 teaspoon celery salt |
2 bay leaves |
1 dash cayenne pepper |
Directions:
1. In large, heavy kettle, saute onion and garlic in butter and oil until transparent.
2. Add meat and brown over medium heat.
3. Add green pepper, mushrooms, tomato paste, tomatoes, Worcestershire, bitters, sugar, wine, salt, pepper, celery salt, bay leaves, and cayenne pepper.
4. Simmer over low heat for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
5. Serve with warm pasta and a sprinkling of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
