Spaghetti Sauce

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 1 - 2 lbs. ground beef
• 1 large onion
• 2 large cloves garlic
• 2 cans whole tomatoes
• 2 cans tomato sauce
• 2 tins tomato paste
• 1 carrot, shredded
• 2 sticks celery, chopped
  
• 2 tsp. dried basil
• 1 tsp. dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. pepper

Brown the beef with the olive oil, onion and garlic. Drain if necessary.

Dump in everything else and burble (covered) for hours and hours, until reduced to a nice saucy consistency.

This is one of the recipes I use when I'm looking to stock the freezer. Using 2 lbs. ground beef, I get enough sauce for 5 meals. Then when I'm looking for a quick and easy meal, I just thaw a package of sauce and cook some pasta and garlic bread. Easy peasy!
