Savory Italian sausage and beef are simmered with a medley of vegetables, garlic, and aromatic herbs in a flavorful, slow-cooked tomato sauce.
Ingredients:
  • 1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 0.25 cup olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 12 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 carrots, shredded
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 zucchini, quartered and sliced
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
  • 4 ounces fresh basil, julienned
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 (28 ounce) cans peeled and diced tomatoes
Instructions:
  • Brown and crumble sausage and ground beef in a skillet over medium heat for 7 to 10 minutes until cooked through. Drain any excess grease.
  • In a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat, heat oil. Sauté onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, carrots, bell peppers, and zucchini; cook until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Combine the sausage and beef in the pot, then mix in the spinach, basil, garlic, thyme, oregano, sugar, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 to 5 minutes before adding the tomatoes and stirring thoroughly. Simmer, covered, over low heat for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
