Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Oil
  • 2 large Onions diced
  • 2 pounds Ground Beef or Chuck
  • 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground Black Pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic Powder
  • One 28-ounce can Stewed Tomatoes
  • Two 5 1/2-ounce cans Tomato Paste
  • 4 cloves Garlic chopped
  • 1/4 cup Sherry (preferred), White Wine or Vermouth (optional)

Instructions

  • Add oil to a large skillet. Place skillet over medium heat.
  • When oil is hot and shimmering, add onions. Sauté onions until they are translucent and fragrant.
  • Add beef. Cook beef, using a wooden spoon to break apart, until fully browned.
  • Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
  • Add tomatoes, tomato paste and garlic. Stir well.
  • Add alcohol if using.
  • Adjust heat to get a good simmer going. Cover and let cook for 2 hours or more, stirring occasionally and add water if needed, so the bottom doesn't burn.
  • Taste. Add more salt and pepper, to taste, if needed.
  • Serve hot over spaghetti or other pasta or as a dipping sauce for bread or appetizers.
  • Store any leftovers in a tightly sealed container, in the refrigerator, up to a week. This sauce reheats well.
