Meat Lovers Spaghetti Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Add meats to deep, large non-stick skillet. *If not using non-stick pan, add a little olive oil to pan first so it won't stick. Sprinkle EVENLY rest of meat mixture ingredients over meats. Stir meats to mix in herbs and spices. Cook over medium heat til meat is no longer pink. Break up meat as you go along, but just don't overdo it. You don't want tiny, overly fine pieces. Drain grease. Pour into large heavy-bottomed pot. Add rest of ingredients EXCEPT mushrooms, and stir/fold to mix well. Now add the mushrooms, if desired. Heat over medium heat til simmering. Lower heat to just a simmer and cook, stirring every so often, for about 35-45 minutes. (*I put a lid on it so I don't get splatters everywhere. And stir and watch pot often so it doesn't scortch on the bottom because this is a nice, thick sauce.) Serve over hot, cooked and well drained spaghetti, thin spaghetti, mostaccioli, penne, or rotini noodles. *Or Use for lasagna. Serve with tossed salad, garlic bread and parmesan cheese on the side if desired. ENJOY! *Freezes very well, too.
