Default Re: Codewarrior\'s spaghetti sauce recipe

Say you want sauce in 2 hours...heres my quick sauce recipe....

2 cans meat sauce (99cent ones will do fine)
Ragu makes a thick and chunky meat sauce, I think its called Grandmas meat sauce or something stupid, it has ground beef in it already, You can substite a can of the meat sauce for this
1 package jimmy dean Hot Breakfast Sausage
Franks Red Hot Sauce
Pepperoni - Sliced(stick is better but takes longer to cook)
Garlic Salt
Sugar
Red Pepper Flakes
2 Cans Tomatoe Paste (cheap will do just fine)
Italian Seasoning

Crumble the sausage and cook like you would ground beef, add hot sauce and italian seasoning, brown and drain (get all that fat out of that)

In a pot add the cans of meat sauce and tomato paste, add couple pinches of garlic salt, and a bunch of italian seasoning along with some sugar (not a lot will reseason later), the pepperoni, and some red pepper flakes...stir it up and let cook 20 minutes or so....

add the sausage, stir and continue to cook 10minutes.....now taste test, try with just a spoon, but I recomend dipping some bread or a mozzarella stick in it to get a true taste.......then season to taste, usually some more or everything at this point depending on how you like it...let it cook for 30min or so, tasting and reseasoning as you see fit......I make it sweet but with a nice kick at the end.


Im sure I will get some negative responses for my non traditional sauce cooking technique, but If you want a good sauce in a hurry, this is the trick
