Ingredients
  • 1/2 c sliced onions (or more) .
  • 1/2 tsp oregano .
  • parsley .
  • 1 lb ground beef .
  • 2 (6 oz) cans tomato paste .
  • 2 c sliced tomatoes, 1 lb can .
  • salt & pepper .
  • 2 c water, may need to add more .
  • salt .
  • 1/2 c grated parmesan cheese .
  • 3/4 c breadcrumbs .
  • 1/4 tsp oregano .
  • 2 garlic cloves, squished (or more) .
  • 1 egg, beaten .
  • 1 tsp sugar

Directions
  • Step #1 Combine the first 8 ingredients, beef to egg & brown in a pot, stir constantly, it will stick a bit because of the cheese, but it will come up again when you add the water later.
  • Step #2 Cook & stir over med-heat/flame.
  • Step #3 Add the rest of the ingredients & let simmer for about 2 hrs, covered the last hr.
  • Step #4 I needed to adjust the seasoning, it needed more salt than I had originally anticipated.
  • Step #5 Makes a lot & the sauce is supposed to be thick, add a bit of water as it is cooking if you feel the need.
  • Step #6 Cook pasta, I like mostaccoli, separately & toss with the sauce.
  • Step #7 This makes enough sauce for about 2 lbs of dry mostaccoli, or about 10 people.
  • Step #8 Freezes really well.
