Lorie's Spaghetti

1 onion
3-4 cloves garlic
2-3 celery
1 large carrot
4 large cans tomato sauce
1 can diced tomatoes (garlic, oregano, flavor. if desired)
Meat can be anything from sausage, hamburger, chuck roast etc. I usually use a 3-4 lb boneless chuck roast
Salt pepper and Italian seasoning

Brown your meat first, (I use some red wine on my roast before its done)Salt and pepper ..
Then in olive oil brown your garlic onion carrot celery slow and low for about 10 minutes.. add in the sauce and tomatoes and season I put my roast in after that and let it simmer nicely for about 4 hours or till meat is falling apart. If you use other meat probably could be done in 3 hours. Longer it simmers the better the flavor. I do not really measure so you can add or subtract to suit what you need.

chuck roast is my preferred meat, I just brown it with salt pepper and then a little red wine right before its done for 3 minutes then put it all into the sauce simmer for 4 to 5 hours till meat is falling apa

This will give you enough sauce with meat to use on 2lbs of pasta, then usually I freeze the rest in gallon bags flat and use whenever. You can add mushrooms also and you can any other veggi you want.
