    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until softened. Remove from the pot.
  2. Add the ground beef and the sausage and cook, breaking it up as it cooks. Add the onion and carrot when the meat is almost cooked through and continue to cook until the meat is cooked and the onion and carrot are soft. Drain any fat, if needed.
  3. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the parsley.
  4. Add the diced tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce, sugar, beef bullion powder, dried rosemary and dried basil. Stir to combine.
  5. Simmer for at least 20 minutes - but longer is better.
  6. Serve over pasta.
