I do not know where this recipe came from. A friend gave it to me. This is THE BEST SAUCE I've ever had!! We use to like dining out at Italian places but not now. Not after eating this sauce. I don't think there is any sauce that will taste as good as this. My Husband eats this stuff by the spoonful. It is that good!! (I don't claim it is Italian, I just know my family loves it!) I am sad to see that this recipe isn't liked by all. My sister said it was too sweet as well. I guess you just have to have a sweet tooth to enjoy. I hope you try it a different way to satisfy your taste buds. If it is not Italian enough for you, then maybe try adding more Italian seasoning and leaving out the sweets and maybe trying Italian Sausage in addtion to or instead of the polish sausage. For the other person: if it is too sweet, next time, just don't add all the molasses and or brown sugar or take one of them out and add all of the other. Sorry you had to toss it. You could have frozen it and fixed it next month or 6 months from now. It freezes well! Ingredients:
1 (7 lb) can tomato sauce |
2 -3 lbs hamburger |
onion |
red pepper |
green pepper |
1/2 lb polish sausage, chopped |
3 tablespoons italian seasoning |
2 tablespoons garlic (1 tbsp if using fresh) |
2 cups chopped tomatoes |
1/2 cup molasses |
1/2 cup brown sugar |
fresh basil (add to your liking) or dried basil (add to your liking) |
Directions:
1. Put tomato sauce in large stock pot 8quarts or larger.
2. Brown hamburger, drain (I like using paper towels to pat grease out as much as possible).
3. Add to pot.
4. Brown the chopped polish sausage.
5. add sausage to pot.
6. KEEP grease.
7. In grease from sausage, cook onion, green and red peppers until tender.
8. I like them browned.
9. Add to pot.
10. Start simmering Sauce in the stock pot.
11. Now add the remaining ingredients.
12. Let simmer on low heat at least an hour (or longer).
13. Stirring occasionally.
14. I usually divide this into 1 quart containers and freeze until ready to use.
15. I usually have 6 quarts to freeze.
16. I usually thaw in microwave a bit them simmer more while cooking spaghetti.
