ALL-DAY SPAGHETTI SAUCE

Steps:

• Brown beef in a skillet.
• Put into a large stock pot with the tomato sauce, paste, and diced tomatoes.
• Add most of the required amount of all the spices.
• Let simmer on low, stirring enough to keep it from burning to the pan bottom, for an hour or so.
• Taste a spoonful and add the rest of the spices to taste.
• TIPS: When you add spices, mix well and simmer 1/2 hour before you taste and add more if necessary.
• The thicker the metal of your stock pot, the less you have to stir.
• Cover it to prevent splatters, but not airtight (I use a spoon to prop the edge of the lid to let vapor escape.).
• The longer it simmers, the thicker it gets (yum).
• The sauce is also very good without the beef.
