Instructions
In a large pot over medium heat, cook the ground beef and pork until no longer pink. Do not drain.
Add the onion and garlic to the pot with the meat and cook over low heat until the onions are soft and the garlic is fragrant.
Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 2-4 hours.
Taste and add additional sugar, salt, or red pepper as desired.
Tips & Notes:
We use plain ground pork in this recipe so that we’re better able to control the seasonings. You can use Italian sausage if you prefer.
You may substitute a 1/2 teaspoon each of basil, oregano, and rosemary plus a 1/4 teaspoon thyme in place of the Italian seasoning blend.
The longer this simmers, the richer, more flavorful, and thicker it will be. You can pull it off early, but for the best results, let it simmer for 4 hours over a low heat and just stir it occasionally.
