Ingredients
- 1 pound bulk Italian Sausage
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 large sweet onion peeled and diced
- 5 cloves garlic peeled and minced
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning blend
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup fresh parsley chopped
- 12 ounces tomato paste
- 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 15 ounce can diced fire roasted tomatoes
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and beef into the pot and break it up with a wooden spoon or spatula. Add in the onion and cook, stirring often, until the meat is fully browned and no pink remains. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Drain off the excess fat.
- Reduce heat to medium and add in the sugar, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and parsley.
- Add in the tomato paste and stir to well to combine.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes with the liquid, and chicken broth. Stir well until combined.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer, then cover the pot with a lid and reduce heat to low. Simmer the sauce for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours for the best flavor and consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent the sauce from burning at the bottom of the pot.
- Tip: if the sauce becomes too thick, add more chicken broth 1/4 cup at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
- Serve the sauce hot over pasta.
