Sarah’s Picture Perfect Spaghetti Sauce Recipe

Sarah here, with a picture perfect spaghetti sauce recipe for you!

If you know me at all, you know I love to cook. Mostly out of necessity is how I started to learn to cook. My mom was a huge cook, my step-mom is a huge cook, and both of them have influenced me greatly to try new things.

Mostly I try to stick to chicken and fish, or try to stick to as much vegetarian as I can, but I can't help but love those comfort foods that my family made me growing up.

So today, because it's been so cold outside, I'm going to make my step-mom's recipe that she gave me for homemade spaghetti sauce.

It's SO GOOD! Let's go:

(Or if you'd like to watch each video separately step-by-step, they are all in the steps below!)

1 lb. hot italian sausage
1 lb. sweet italian sausage
1 green bell pepper
2 small yellow onions
2 cloves garlic
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. italian seasoning
oregano
salt
sugar
crushed red pepper
Large cans of crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and petite diced tomatoes
Small can of tomato paste

Again, 1 lb. each of hot and sweet Italian sausages, ground.

Chop your 2 yellow onion and green bell pepper.

In a pan, brown your hot and sweet Italian sausage until fully cooked. Drain the grease and set aside.

In a Dutch oven or large soup pot, over medium heat, cook olive oil, pepper, and onion. Add garlic and cook a minute or two until the onions are soft.

Add the cooked sausage to your pot and stir. (Just ignore that the videos are out of order here. ;) )

Now add your cans of crushed tomatoes, petite diced tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Stir to combine.

Then add your Italian seasoning and oregano. Heat through.

Now add your tomato paste and stir to combine.

Once mixed through, add salt, sugar, and crushed red pepper to taste.

Bring to a low boil, then cover with a lid and let simmer on low-med heat for a few hours, stirring occasionally.
