I lucked onto this one way back when but it still gets rave reviews from family and friends. The sauce is short-cooked but quite tasty. The final product is just short of heaven to my family. Prep is time-consuming but bake time is not.
Ingredients
- 1 pound italian sausage, uncased (I use hot) shopping list
- 1 pound lean ground beef shopping list
- 2 (or more) cloves garlic, minced shopping list
- 2 tablespoons sugar (optional & I don't use) shopping list
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper shopping list
- 1/4 cup parsley, chopped shopping list
- 3 24-26 ounce cans roma tomatoes (I use puree instead) shopping list
