"From a cookbook I have, I adapt this with fresh ingredients and can it and put it up. Nothing like fresh sauce in December."

ingredients

5 lbs ground beef, browned and drained
1 ¹⁄₂ large green bell peppers, diced
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 (16 ounce) can sliced mushrooms
1 bunch green onion, diced
7 stalks celery, diced
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons crushed garlic
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
7 (10 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chilies
2 ¹⁄₄ teaspoons Italian spices
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons garlic powder
¹⁄₂ teaspoon black pepper
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons salt
30 ounces tomato paste
16 cups water

directions

Saute yellow/green onions, celery, garlic, mushrooms, and bell pepper in olive oil until vegetables begin to soften.
Add meat, water, tomatoes, and seasonings to vegetables. Bring to boil, then reduce to medium heat, stirring about every 20 minutes. Cook for 2 hours.
Begin to add tomato paste (15 oz at a time. Then wait 10 minutes to check consistency. 30 oz will make a semi thin sauce. You will need to add more tomato paste to thicken the sauce for lasagna).
Note: You can add more tomato paste for a thicker sauce.

My name is Candy, married in 1993 to Tom. We have two kids (ages 13 and 11) and live in Austin, TX. Most of the cooking is done by Tom these days and he loves to play around and experiment with food. I own a bookkeeping business from a home office and Tom is a teacher so we stay busy and are always on the look out for something fun, fast and healthy. View my all about me website for links and other information about us - <a href=http://www.candybeauchamp.com>HERE</a>. We both absolutely love to read! Our kids are turning into little bookworms too :) We are all Kindle addicts and read a lot, my husband and I easily read 200 books per year between the two of us.
