Ingredients
-
1 pound ground beef
-
2 (29 ounce) cans tomato sauce
-
3 tablespoons dried basil
-
3 tablespoons dried oregano
-
3 tablespoons onion powder
-
2 tablespoons garlic powder
-
2 tablespoons white sugar
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
-
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned completely, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.
-
Stir tomato sauce, basil, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, sugar, salt, and pepper into beef. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cook sauce at a simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick and rich, about 1 hour.
Tips
Fresh herbs really add an extra layer of flavor. If I have any of the ingredients fresh, I substitute: 1 cup basil, chopped; 1 cup oregano, chopped, 2 onions, finely chopped; or 3 cloves garlic, minced.
This makes enough sauce for 2 boxes of pasta; it freezes well.
