Spaghetti Sauce

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 pounds of ground meat (beef or turkey) - browned and drained
• 2 oz olive oil
• 8 oz of sliced mushrooms
• 1 large onion chopped
• 4 tbsp worchestire sauce
• 2 tbsp parmesan cheese
• 1 tbsp garlic powder (I usually sub fresh, 2 or 3 cloves)
• 1/2 tbsp mustard seed
• 1 tbsp dried basil leaves (I usually sub fresh, 1/4 cup)
• 2 tsp celery salt
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• 1/4 tsp dried oregano
• 3 pints of mashed whole tomatoes (I am lazy and usually use diced canned)
• 2 - 12oz tomato paste
• 1/4 c molasses
• 2 c. water
• 1 tbsp salt
• 1/2 tbsp pepper

Heat olive oil and saute mushrooms and onion. Add worchestire, parmesan, garlic and spices. Then add tomatoes, meat, paste, molasses and water. Cook a long time! On the stove, covered for an hour or two. But I usually throw it in the crockpot on high for 3 or 4 hours, and it is delish!

Servings: Makes a lot, I usually freeze half.
