  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1 tsp. dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp. dried marjoram
  • 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
  • pinch dried rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp. dried red chili flakes

  • 1/2 tsp. fresh cracked black pepper

  • 1 - 6 oz. can tomato paste
  • 2 TBSP. brown sugar
  • 1 - 12 oz. can sliced mushrooms, drained
  • 1 - 14.5 oz. can black olives, drained and sliced

Directions
  1. In large stock pot, cook beef, sausage, onion, celery, green pepper, and garlic until meats are browned. Drain off fat.
  2. Add oregano, basil, marjoram, thyme, rosemary, chili flakes, bay leaf, black pepper, and pinch salt. Saute for 1 minute to release some of the essence from the herbs and spices.
  3. Add tomato sauce. Using scissors, cut up stewed tomatoes in can, or use a food processor. Add to meat mixture with tomato paste. Stir well to combine. If sauce is too thick, add additional can of tomato sauce. Add brown sugar.
