Momma Riser's Red Sauce

An 8-12qt pot is needed. 

Puree all of the veggies pictured. Cook in large pot with 1/2 stick butter. 

• 2 onions
• 2 zucchini
• 1 head of garlic
• 2gbp
• 1rbp
• 1obp
• 1lb Roma tomatoes
• 1lb, white mushrooms
• 1 lb carrots
• a handful of fresh basil. 

Brown 1lb hamburger + 1lb mild Italian sausage. Drain fat off cooked meat. (bottom right picture)

Add to cooking veggie mix. 

Open & dump all of those cans pictured above in the pot. 

• 2 cans Campbell's Cream of Mushroom
• 2 15 oz cans Petite Diced Tomatoes
• 1 8 oz can Tomato Paste
• 1 4 oz can Tomato Paste
• 1 27 oz can tomato sauce
• 1 15 oz can tomato sauce

Season with salt, pepper, parsley, oregano. 

Cook on low for 3-4hrs. 

Divide into 1-2 qt batches, ziploc & freeze. I use a regular mouth canning funnel to get the sauce into bag.

Meat is optional. A dear friend of mine prefers this sauce without meat.

The Rock Star prefers a sweet red sauce. He even asked me to put sugar in my red sauce early in our marriage. Huh?!?! Am I serving this in a elementary school cafeteria? No. So I added carrots and zucchini to sweeten the sauce. He loves it. The Genius Brother thinks that this sauce is a meal by itself. I agree.
