Best Spaghetti Sauce Ever

Ingredients

½ lb hamburger

½ lb hot sausage (leave these out for vegetarian version)

1 onion chopped

3 cloves garlic minced

1 8 oz carton of fresh mushrooms (buttons, shitake or baby bellas) - sliced

1 tbs olive oil

2 large cans of crushed tomatoes

1 small cans tomato paste

2 tsp raw sugar

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

1 box of Morning star farms sausage patties – see directions below

Preparation

Brown hamburger, sausage, onion and garlic and mushrooms in 1 tbs olive oil over medium heat on the stovetop in the bottom of a large sauce pot.

Add in the remaining ingredients and bring to boil and reduce to simmer. Simmer until heated through – or continue to simmer and add water as needed. (For vegetarian version – shred the morning star farms sausage patties and add to the sauce). The longer this simmers the richer the flavor will be.
