Measurement Clarification

Before you try any of my recipes I feel I should clarify one thing. When it comes to measurements in tsp or tbsp I don't use an exact tsp or tbsp measurement. I use a literal silverware tablespoon full or literal silverware teaspoon full. What does this all mean? Each tablespoon or teaspoon is closer to double if you're measuring an exact tablespoon or teaspoon.

Meatylicious Red Sauce

Red sauces can come in a variety of textures and tastes. Some like it sweet, others very spicy and so on. I personally have appreciation for a wide range of red sauces; this however  is one of my favorite takes on it. I feel it's a good combination of everything. If you have some time to spare just to throw it all together you can walk away and it's ready in no time, what could be simpler?

What I also love about this sauce is it is very versatile and you can use it on spaghetti, make baked ziti, or of course lasagna....mmm

Yield: Roughly 4 1/2 Liters. Enough for 2 lasagnas, or a whole lot o spaghetti.

Ingredients:
  • (2) 28oz Can Crushed Tomatoes
  • 28oz Can Tomato Sauce
  • 6oz Can Tomato Paste
  • 2 Medium Sized Onions Diced
  • 2 Bulbs Minced Garlic
  • 1.5lb Hot Italian Pork Sausage
  • 1.5lb Andouille Sausage
  • 2 tbsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Dry Oregano
  • 1 tbsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1 tbsp Dry Basil
  • 1 tbsp Onion Powder
Recipe:

First chop the onions and mince the garlic.


Pour some olive oil in a large pot on medium heat. 3-4 tablespoons if you're counting. Throw in the onions and garlic.


Cook until the onions are translucent.


Next add in the meats. While cooking, break them up to ensure a homogenous blend. Continue until meat is fully or mostly cooked.


Add in the remaining ingredients (tomato paste, tomato sauce, crushed tomato, salt, oregano, pepper, italian seasoning, basil, and onion powder. Bring mixture to a low boil, cover with lid and stew on low-med heat for 1.5 hours.


Have it any way you like, on pasta, in lasagna, or on yo face!
