Recipe:  Best Ever Spaghetti Sauce



Ingredients:

1 1/2 lb.  Ground beef 
2 medium onions, chopped 
4 cloves garlic, minced 
4 Tablespoons dried parsley 
6-8oz. Cans of tomato sauce 
2-14 oz cans stewed tomatoes 
1/2 teaspoon salt 
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1-2 bay leaves whole (remove before serving) 
1 Tablespoon oregano 
2 Tablespoons of Italian seasoning 
pinch of allspice (Sounds weird, but was grandma s secret ingredient!) 
Optional: sliced mushrooms either fresh or canned 
Optional: thin sliced zucchini (kids will eat it because it tastes like
sauce when it has been cooked in sauce for hours......also will cook up
almost completely if left in sauce from
beginning to end.)

Instructions:

Brown ground beef and drain.  Add onions, garlic, salt and pepper,
parsley, oregano, Italian seasoning, allspice, bay leaves, stewed
tomatoes and tomato sauce.(after emptying tomato sauce into pot,
refill each can with water and add to pot)

Bring to boil and then turn down to low and let simmer 8-10 hours.
Add the mushrooms in the last two hours.  The zucchini is best added
at that time to if you want chunks of zucchini in your sauce,
otherwise add in the beginning and kids will not notice they are
there.
